On August 30, 2022 Craig Bannister posted this piece, Actor James Woods Slams CDC Speech Police: ‘You Nitwits Don’t Have Better Things to Do in the Middle of a Pandemic??!!’. So what prompted this outburst?
The CDC asked Americans “Are you using #inclusive language” and directed them to a CDC.gov webpage titled, “Preferred Terms for Select Population Groups & Communities.”
All in the middle of the crisis they created. It’s not surprising he called them nitwits. Think about these silly little issues facing the nation:
- When you defund the police, crime rises.
- When you spend like crazy, inflation soars.
- When you pay people not to work, unemployment goes up.
- When you open the border, illegal immigration increases.
- When you rely on the Taliban, Afghanistan falls.
And the CDC is worried about the sensitivity of snowflakes? Some of words the CDC wants shunned, and their CDC-approved substitutes, include:
- Replace “inmate” with “People/Persons who are incarcerated or detained,”
- Replace “Convict/Ex-Convict” with “People who were formerly incarcerated,”
- Replace “Drug-Users” with “Persons who use drugs/people who inject drugs,”
- Replace “Alcoholics” with “Persons with Alcohol use disorder,”
- Replace “Homeless people/The Homeless” with ‘Persons experiencing unstable housing/housing insecurity/persons who are not securely housed,”
- Replace “The poor/Poor people” with “People who self-reported income in the lowest income bracket (if income brackets are defined),”
- Replace “High-risk population” with “People who live/work in setting that put them at increased/higher risk of becoming infected or exposed to hazards,”
- Replace gendered pronouns (He or She) with “they or their”
