According to a recent Speech First report, the nation’s leading medical schools are controlled by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion fanatics, who inflict beliefs such as “weight inclusivity,” racial justice, and gender ideology on their staff and students through policies, forced statements, and curricular mandates.
Filed in the fall of 2024, “Critical Condition” analyzed public records from FOIA requests from 54 of the country’s top medical schools, and the results are alarming.
For example, the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School offers a “Developing Outstanding Clinical Skills” program that teaches students to embrace “weight inclusivity,” arguing that weight-loss strategies foster a “culture of shame.” Students are also instructed to avoid terms such as “overweight” or “obese.”
In a similar vein, the University of California, Los Angeles medical school offers a “Structural Racism and Health Equity” course that teaches students about “fatphobia,” which describes concerns about weight and body size as a form of discrimination or oppression. (You can almost picture a group of paunchy protesters, fists raised high, angrily shouting “Fat power!”)
The hypocrisy here is obvious. Excess weight or obesity increases the risk of death by anywhere from 22% to 91% and Black adults have the highest obesity rates of any race or ethnicity in the U.S. So, downplaying the effects of obesity could really be considered racist.
Duke Medical School has adopted race-based promotion guidelines that reward doctors for recruiting and mentoring “BIPOC faculty” and “targeting specific groups of people,” language attorneys say appear to violate civil rights law.
Brown University’s Medical School now prioritizes DEI over clinical skills in its promotion criteria for faculty. The standards include “demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion” as a “major criterion” for all positions within the Department of Medicine. Clinical skills, by contrast, only count as a “minor criterion” for many roles.
