The New York Times – unlocked: “As President Trump seeks to purge the federal government of “woke” initiatives, agencies have flagged hundreds of words to limit or avoid, according to a compilation of government documents…All presidential administrations change the language used in official communications to reflect their own policies. It is within their prerogative, as are amendments to or the removal of web pages, which The Times has found has already happened thousands of times in this administration…this 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.” The words themselves have many meaning based on how they are used whether in speech or in print. This type of wholesale censorship impacts not only the federal government, but contractors, research institutions, corporations, colleges and universities, and other entities that interact with the federal government, as well as the public at large.
