CDC has advised avoiding seven words in budget requests - by Harwood D. Schaffer and Daryll E. Ray, Farm Forum

As social scientists who treasure the concept of academic freedom, we were taken aback when we heard that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) “had banned seven words.” The seven words: entitlement, diversity, vulnerable, transgender, science-based, evidence-based, and fetus. Upon further examination, it turns out that it is not quite that simple. CDC personnel were not told that they could not use the words. Rather, it appears that they were told to avoid using those words in budget requests that would go through the Trump Administration before being included in the budget document that would be sent to Congress. https://www.farmforum.net/2018/01/05/cdc-has-advised-avoiding-seven-words-in-budget-requests/
