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."

    In the specific context of the budgeting process, this is probably correct.

    They, being liberals, need to signal their holiness by worship of trans, for example, so if left to their own devices, instead of determining the proper budget for zika prevention vs cholea prevention will just religiously rant about hatred of all things Trump and how its great to be racist against white people etc. Actions that are good for their social "street cred" in the context of oppressive levels of political progressivism is not necessarily useful in the context of allocating the office supply budget between black bic pens vs #2 pencils with or without erasers.
