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

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

Today is there a word more inane and overused as "diversity"? It probably shouldn't be used in government reports.

But no word should be banned and attempting to do so is dangerous.
