The List of Trump's Forbidden Words That Will Get Your Paper Flagged at NSF
It's fascism, plain and simple.
You're viewing a single thread.
Trump and his fellow fascists use terms like DEI to describe anything they don’t like, which means that the word “women” is on the forbidden list while “men” doesn’t initiate a review.
Straight white men are seen through the MAGA worldview as the default human and thus wouldn’t be suspicious and in need of a review. Any other type of identity is inherently suspect.
It’s still not clear what happens on the other side of all this. But when they’re flagging words like “women” and “trauma,” less than three weeks in, it can’t be good.
They're flagging words that have scientific applications that have nothing to do with anything divisive but are also used with things they find divisive. You can't use "barrier" or "historically" or fucking "polarization."
Ironically, my primary area of study was Marxist theory with an emphasis on bureaucracy, and those words aren’t on the list. But once again, STEM gets all the attention.
Talking about REMOVING BIAS from your scientific study? How DARE you.
Please explain what is biased about the three words I just listed. What are they biased against, cells, time and magnetism?
Bias is a banned word, thats what they were pointing out.
Edit: In specific
Oh, I see. Thank you.
Considering the down votes they got, I don't think you were the only person to take what they said differently, the conservatives out there are really fucking up even basic communication with this crap.
Very much so.
