For example: It is predicatable that educational systems would be required to stop indoctrinating youth to believe that a healthy system is one founded on family values. Speaking of code words, there's the infamous "family values." Not that I'm suggesting that you're using it that way, mind you... As for "civil union" being a code word, I would not think so. Given that civil union in Vermont, the only state that has it, is equivalent in every way to marriage but intentionally uses a different label, then I would assume that when people say "civil union" they mean civil union or domestic partnership rather than marriage. I imagine that people who are unionized would consider themselves married but not anyone else. But as I argued to Neo the other day about code words, it's all so new that it's hard for anyone beyond the immediate organizers to be in the loop about such things.
