Policy analysts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were told of the list of forbidden words 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 words are "vulnerable," "entitlement," "diversity," "transgender," "fetus," "evidence-based" and "science-based."

    If you're going to be offensive, at least get your lines right. "If the CDC decided to conceal projects regarding racial difference in doublespeak..." at least you'd have an apples to apples comparison.
