It’s not DEI “language”
it’s literally a ban on people.
You can’t use the words “disability” or “disabled” anymore for example. That’s not banning DEI(A) language, just erasing a group of people.

So they’re just rolling back vocabulary to something more offensive?
I guess “handicapped” can be used.
But they also banned the word “accessibility” so it’s basically impossible to do research on people with disabilities really.
I have to read 1984 again to see how this goes.
Fixed my headline, thanks. Wish I could fix the New York Times.
