Trump's Seven Dirty Words

The Trump administration has informed the Department of Health and Human Services that certain words are not to be used in next year's budget.  The seven words that are banned:
  • Vulnerable
  • Entitlement
  • Diversity
  • Transgender
  • Fetus
  • Evidence-based
  • Science-based
No explanations were given for the language prohibition.  Another HHS agency has also been told to use "Obamacare" instead of ACA or "Affordable Care Act".  At the State Department, meanwhile, documents now refer to sex education as "sexual risk avoidance."
