In the past, there have been mediocre presidential candidates who were promoted beyond their abilities thanks to money, connections, or family name. Kamala Harris is the first person to rise to the top explicitly because of her race and gender. In short, she is the living embodiment of DEI.
If Donald Trump defeats her, he is certain to deal a powerful blow to this pernicious ideology. But Harris is simply the most prominent beneficiary. Our institutions are already being taken over by DEI, putting American lives at risk.
Is a white man's life worth less than a black woman's life? Through DEI’s hierarchy of oppressors and victims, the answer is a resounding “yes.”
Any serious attempt to undo the damage of a decade of anti-meritocracy policies must begin with medical schools.
communication disorder
a recent reports This article by medical watchdog group Do No Harm is sobering. American medical schools are prioritizing political agendas over essential medical education, with potentially dire consequences.
The report, titled “Activism, Not Anatomy,” argues that commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion are overshadowing traditional science and medical education at educational institutions across the country. I am doing it.
The core of the problem lies in the apparent deviation from rigorous scientific training to ideologically based content. Medical students are currently undergoing courses that prioritize social and political goals over traditional medical knowledge.
This includes an increased emphasis on identity politics and social theories that have little to do with the development of skills and knowledge essential to competent medical practice. This change has led to the loss of essential knowledge needed for effective patient care. Moreover, this shift comes at a time when public trust in health care institutions is declining, and rather than rebuilding trust, health care institutions appear intent on alienating Americans or driving them to an early grave. appear.
rigor mortis
One of the report's most worrying findings is that significant time and resources are diverted from core medical training. Medical curricula are already demanding, but DEI-focused coursework takes up time that could be devoted to important subjects like anatomy, pathology, and pharmacology.
In essence, the rigor of medical education has diminished, leaving future physicians unprepared for real-world challenges.
This ideological shift not only replaces mandatory training, but also raises serious ethical concerns. Students are pressured to adopt a particular worldview, and dissenting opinions risk punishment (more on this later). Ironically, medical schools suppress intellectual diversity in the name of inclusivity.
Training physicians to view patients primarily through an identity-based lens fosters division and undermines the principle of treating individuals as individuals. Is a white man's life worth less than a black woman's life? Through DEI’s hierarchy of oppressors and victims, the answer is a resounding “yes.” White privilege has never looked so obviously dangerous.
This is not an exaggeration. When identity politics and political correctness dominate medical training, there is a clear risk that professionals will prioritize ideological considerations over evidence-based care.
For example, as the report notes, an obsession with the “right” word and politically charged issues such as transgender healthcare can, in some cases, overshadow the need for a robust, patient-centered approach. are. Culturally competent care is essential, but it should complement, not replace, scientifically appropriate medical practice.

This ideological push within medical schools risks permeating the broader health care system. When residents are taught to prioritize identity markers and political themes over clinical facts, this mindset can permeate hospitals, influence health policy, and undermine all aspects of patient care. Obsession with DEI efforts often postpones efficiency and benefit-based progress, ultimately impacting patient outcomes.
Remember, the DEI agenda comes at the expense of meritocracy. As a result, medical schools are not only admitting objectively less capable students, they are producing doctors who are objectively less capable than they were just a few generations ago.
DEI is truly disruptive and poses existential risks in critical areas. In fact, if this report is to be believed, it is a matter of life and death that the latter amount will be significantly higher.
What we are witnessing here is the professionalization of complaints and the prioritization of activity over expertise. Once a place of necessary knowledge and innovation, medical schools have been transformed into training grounds for the next generation of political activists. It's the lunatics who really run the mental hospitals.
To make matters worse, many DEI stories are built on shaky foundations. Or, more accurately, completely unfounded.
stage 4 racism
Dr. Kendall Conger, a former emergency physician at Duke University Health System, recently said, has been terminated For questioning the claim that racism is a “public health crisis.”
When Conger requested data to support this claim, none was provided. Instead of engaging in dialogue, the facility punished him for raising legitimate concerns. This response reveals the hostile environment that conscientious medical professionals currently face, where challenging the narrative leads to retribution rather than debate.
Cancel culture is still here. common sense? Well, not really.
The report's conclusions are clear. Medical schools must resist this ideological encroachment and refocus on their original mission of providing future physicians with the skills and knowledge to save lives and improve patient outcomes.
Still, it appears the damage is being done. Curriculum development and implementation take years. Even if the entire DEI agenda were logically addressed today, it would take years to get back to basics. In the meantime, more doctors will graduate and more Americans will pay the ultimate price: with their lives.
