Head Start centers told to avoid 'disability,' 'women' and more in funding requests New court documents reveal a list of nearly 200 words or phrases the Trump administration told Head Start programs it does not want to see in their funding requests.

The Trump administration has banned Head Start providers from using 200 phrases when describing their programs and applying for grants, such as: women, disabilities, Black, belong, and tribal.
