Not long after President Donald Trump’s administration ordered a government agency to refrain from using progressive buzzwords in some official documents, liberal snowflakes began freaking out.
According to The Washington Post, the administration banned the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from using seven phrases such as “evidence-based” and “science-based” in government budgeting documents.
CDC officials disseminated the list of unacceptable words and phrases to policy analysts at the agency on Thursday, the Post reported. The list also includes “transgender,” “fetus,” “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” and “diversity.”
According to the Post, the CDC, which conducts research on issues ranging from health promotion and preparedness to improving the overall public health in the U.S., will be prohibited from using the list of words in official documents in the 2019 budget.
On participant in Thursday’s meeting told the Post that analysts have been instructed to use the phrase, “CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes,” rather than “evidence-based” or “science-based.”

The Trump administration’s apparent goal is to remove buzzwords and emotionally charged language that has been used to distract people from what the agency is actually doing and working to accomplish.
Not everyone saw it that way, as liberals began complaining about the move and accused the Trump administration of basically upending the agency.
On Saturday, Rep. Gwen Moore, a Wisconsin Democrat, took issue with the Trump administration’s decision to remove left-wing buzzwords from budgeting documents.
“This is deeply disturbing and offensive. Shame on you, @realDonaldTrump,” Moore wrote on Twitter.

Taking Moore a rhetorical step further, Planned Parenthood called the list “unimaginably dangerous” and “reckless,” warning that forbidding such words could impede the CDC’s abilitiy to address public health concerns.
As usual with a Trump administration, there’s an overzealous attempt by liberals to claim that the president is trying to harm people or ruin something.
The administration is simply sending the message that a government agency is still capable of effectively doing its job without using certain politically correct words. As Department of Health and Human Services spokesman Health and Human Services spokesman Matt Lloyd told CNN in a statement:
“HHS will continue to use the best scientific evidence available to improve the health of all Americans. HHS also strongly encourages the use of outcome and evidence data in program evaluations and budget decisions.”
More importantly, the resistriction is only applied to budget documents, so how will using words like “diversity” and “transgender” have any positive or negative effect on that?
It won’t, but liberals will never pass up the chance to attack Trump and claim he’s ruining the country.
