Trump Finally ENDED It!
This Has NEVER Been Done Before – Let The Looting Begin!
Navigating the minefield that is political correctness is enough to send even the most
conscious diplomat to the psychiatric ward.
Between micro-aggressions, cultural appropriation and gender confusion one can't even be safe
when relegating their comments to the weather.
The reason for all the confusion (and subsequent offense) is that the rules about what is ok
to say or do are made up and retroactively enforced on a person's speech.
And to make matters worse, the rules are made up by the hearer.
Without literally being able to hear the other person's thoughts, it's completely impossible
to ensure that one won't offend someone.
Language is a very powerful thing, and everyone who is anyone knows that.
It shapes the opinions of a generation to hear the way we refer to things, and that
opinion influences future law.
Because of that, terms like "fetus" have replaced baby, to lessen the blow of abortion,
and "transgender" has replaced a number of terms that used to be used to refer to
someone with gender dysmorphia.
These have caused the entire population to accept things that we should have stopped
and taken a much closer look at.
Because of the power that these terms have over our perception of the world, President
Trump stepped in and demanded that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) stop confusing the
nation with these terms, along with a few others.
This has crippled the aggressive liberal agenda that works overtime to control what the nation
thinks and infuriated more than a few people.
The Washington Post reported on these changes, and was none too happy to tell us that these
rumors are indeed true:
"The Trump administration is prohibiting officials at the nation's top public health
agency from using a list of seven words or phrases — including 'fetus' and 'transgender'
— in official documents being prepared for next year's budget.
Policy analysts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were told
of the list of forbidden terms at a meeting Thursday with senior CDC officials who oversee
the budget, according to an analyst who took part in the 90-minute briefing.
The forbidden terms are 'vulnerable,' 'entitlement,' 'diversity,' 'transgender,'
'fetus,' 'evidence-based' and 'science-based.'
The question of how to address such issues as sexual orientation, gender identity, and
abortion rights — all of which received significant visibility under the Obama administration
— has surfaced repeatedly in federal agencies since President Trump took office.
Several key departments — including HHS, as well as Justice, Education, and Housing
and Urban Development — have changed some federal policies and how they collect government
information about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.
At the CDC, the meeting about the banned terms was led by Alison Kelly, a career civil servant
who is a senior leader in the agency's Office of Financial Services, according to the CDC
analyst, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak
publicly.
Kelly did not say why the words are being banned, according to the analyst, and told
the group that she was merely relaying the information.
Other CDC officials confirmed the existence of a list of forbidden words.
It's likely that other parts of HHS are operating under the same guidelines regarding
the use of these words, the analyst said."
While the pity party for those who will be "left behind" is no doubt being cued up
as we speak, the fact of the matter is that President Trump is attempting to take this
politically charged language out of a government agency that is supposed to be looking out
for the physical health of every human, regardless of the choices they make in their life (and
yes, that includes the choice to transition away from the gender you were born with).
As you can imagine, this didn't go over well with anyone that the WaPo cared to interview:
The reaction of people in the meeting was 'incredulous,' the analyst said.
'It was very much, 'Are you serious?
Are you kidding?''
'In my experience, we've never had any pushback from an ideological standpoint,'
the analyst said.
News of the ban on certain words hasn't yet spread to the broader group of scientists
at the CDC, but it's likely to provoke a backlash, the analyst said.
'Our subject matter experts will not lay down quietly — this hasn't trickled down
to them yet.'
Kelly told the analysts that 'certain words' in the CDC's budget drafts were being sent
back to the agency for correction.
Three words that had been flagged in these drafts were "vulnerable," "entitlement"
and "diversity."
Kelly told the group the ban on the other words had been conveyed verbally.
This attack on the very foundation of the politically correct movement is one that nobody
saw coming.
President Trump saw fit to take away the tools that liberals working within the government
are using to further the left's agenda, and it's well within his rights to do so.
Lest we go down the path of this obscuring "free speech" please go back in your mind
and recall all the times you've heard of a person being fired for making a racial slur
or insulting some protected class.
If language (at work) can be constricted by the left, it can be constricted by the right
as well.
They might not like it, but what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
What do you think about this?
