What a joke this is.
I am literally laughing at this right now! So now Trump and his crooked cronies can limit "freedom of speech" by telling people what words they can use? How ridiculous! So now they can't use "science-based" or "evidence-based"? What are we supposed to use now.......Faith-based?
I'm certainly not taking sides with Trump here, but "Freedom of speech" as a concept has a lot of ifs, buts and limitations attached to it. According to some "First Amendment for Dummies" pieces I read recently, you pretty much don't have freedom of speech in the workplace. If your employer tells you to use (or not use) certain language or phrases, then you either do as you're told or hit the bricks and go work for an institution not run by professional truth-benders.
"The First Amendment only protects government employees when they are speaking as a private citizen. If the government employee's speech is part of their official job duties, they can be disciplined or fired for what they say" <- One example among many I found while reading up on an unrelated matter.
I agree it is ridiculous, but if the Constitution allows for it then really the only weapon you have at your disposal is the ballot box!
