Federal Reserve tells employees to avoid 'biased terms' like 'Founding Fathers'

The internal webpage came from the Fed’s Board of Governors and was shared as guidance for all employees nationwide, a former Fed staffer familiar with the matter told Fox News.

"Bias-free language recognizes diversity and avoids stereotyping, demeaning, or excluding people on the basis of gender, race, ethnic group, religion, age, ability/disability, or sexual orientation," the guidance states. "Try to avoid words and phrases that may be considered offensive, pejorative, or prejudiced (whether consciously or unconsciously), as these can distract your audience from the ideas/information you’re trying to convey," it continues.
