[Ed Condon]

What degree do we confer upon these ‘students’ after they have completed their course of study at Greybar University?

[Mears]

“Secretary Morgan is trying to remove negative connotations when referring to those who are or have been imprisoned—as well as their families.”

—

If being imprisoned for committing a crime doesn’t deserve a negative connotation,what does?

Being white?

.

[Tx Angel]

How “PC” of them

[Right Brother]

So, hopefully, Hillary will soon be a student.

[Darteaus94025]

We now call them, “Victims of White American Racist Imperialist Oppression”.

[bigbob]

And he will no longer be called Secretary of Corrections, he will be referred to “He Who Has His Head Up His Ass”

[machman]

Why not future democrat voters?

[MaxistheBest]

If the goal is trying to remove negative connotations when referring to those who are or have been imprisoned, I don’t think the term “incarcerated persons.” does the trick.

[arthurus]

The new term, at least privately among the Democrats, is “our voters.”

[DannyTN]

At least they stopped short of calling them heroes, mentors and compatriots.

[Talisker]

There’s more to this than meets the eye.

[LostPassword]

How about “Obama’s children” or “Hillary’s children”?

[AZLiberty]

I’m surprised they didn’t follow Disneyland, and call them “guests”.

[isom35]

Guest staying at Crowbar Hotel.

[roadcat]

And, spokesman Jeremy Barclay said, if no other moniker applies, they’ll be called “incarcerated persons.”

Yes, Hillary will soon be a student, as well as being an incarcerated person. I would prefer that she and her associates in prison be called "basket of deplorables". Defined as "Worthy of severe condemnation or reproach". That's what they truly are.

[Robert357]

When is a “con” not a “con?” When the are in a Washington State “Correction Center” as there are no more prisons, penitentiaries, or jails.

[FrankR]

Jailbirds

[Joe Boucher]

simply one more federal gub mint agency this mookabooker has destroyed.
EVERY aspect of the federal gub mint has been made in to horse crap by this punk ass negro.

[drpix]

The likes of Robert Morgan should no longer be referred to as “government officials” but “radical moles” and their memos no longer referred to as “official directives” but “acts of institutional sabotage.”

[Flavious_Maximus]

Why does he think “incarcerated persons” is OK?

It’s no different than prisoner or jailbird.
