The forbidden words are “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based” and “science-based.”

This administration is using 1984 as a how-to manual.

With no explanation as yet offered, I note that some of these words are cliche or "checkbox" words in certain advocacy lexicons. The word "sustainable" is another example, and I'm somewhat surprised it wasn't included.
