‘Chilling’: NYT reveals list of words banned by Trump’s ‘anti-woke’ initiatives (RS)
“Donald Trump’s purge of so-called woke initiatives as one of his first orders of business after returning to the White House in January. He has ordered that this list of banned words be filtered through hundreds of federal government websites, according to a New York Times analysis.
The Raw Story reports that the New York Times revealed a list of banned words that came with that order – from phrases like “sense of belonging,” “all-inclusive” and “at risk” – to more innocuous terms like “women,” “institutional,” and “systemic.”
President’s “Order” January 20, 2025:
RESTORING FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND ENDING FEDERAL CENSORSHIP
“Indeed, the office of the presidency carries with it a tremendous power to drive the discourse,” the Times wrote Friday. “But the pattern of vanishing words established here suggests Mr. Trump and his administration may be more interested in chilling the national conversation — at least when it comes to their own disfavored topics — than in expanding it.” (RS)
