About Sister Margaret

Sister Margaret, born in a quiet Midwestern town, dedicated her life to education after a profound realization during her novitiate: words have power to heal or harm. With 25 years at St. Harmony's Homeschool, she has championed inclusive language, banning over 800 words to create a safe space for all learners. Her motto: "Sensitivity first, vocabulary second." When not curating this site, she enjoys herbal tea and knitting affirmation scarves.

The Sacred List of Banned Words

Gently affirm (fist up) or suggest alternative (fist down) on entries. Net affirmations determine winners! (We don't say "thumbs up" as it might trigger "Friends of Dorothy" or the "Friends of Epstein" and we don't say "thumbs down" as it might trigger those with erectile dysfunction)
