CriticalRace.org rolls out its Medical School database: “The ideological capture of over two-thirds of medical schools demonstrates that CRT/DEI has become a part of the fabric of medical education. We are training future doctors to look at patients through a racial lens, with potentially frightening consequences for society.”

Critical race theory-related ideas found in programs at 108 of 155 top American medical schools:
The “racialization of medical education” has created a “national emergency” because many of America’s future doctors are being inundated with critical race theory (CRT) and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), according to the founder of CriticalRace.org.
CriticalRace.org, which monitors CRT curricula and training in higher education, has expanded its Medical School Database to include all 155 accredited U.S. medical schools. Findings revealed a staggering 70 percent provide mandatory or voluntary CRT-related coursework or training for students.
“The extent to which CRT/DEI and related programming has worked its way into medical schools is truly shocking and worrisome. Racial and other activism should not be the focus of medical education,” William Jacobson told Fox News Digital….
“The ideological capture of over two-thirds of medical schools demonstrates that CRT/DEI has become a part of the fabric of medical education. We are training future doctors to look at patients through a racial lens, with potentially frightening consequences for society,” Jacobson said.
“It’s often said that collapse happens slowly, and then very suddenly. Medical school education is slowly collapsing, but it’s not too late,” he continued. “We need to stop the CRT/DEI medical agenda before that collapse becomes irreversible.”
CriticalRace.org also found that over 50 percent of medical schools mandate CRT-related coursework or training, while nearly 40 percent mandate such trainings for faculty and staff. The subjects of mandatory trainings and coursework are worded differently by institution, using terms such as “anti-racism,” “cultural competency,” “diversity, equity and inclusion,” “equity,” “implicit bias/anti-bias,” and CRT.
The database of 155 accredited medical schools indicates that 108 have some form of mandatory or voluntary student training or coursework and 66 have offered materials by left-wing authors Robin DiAngelo or Ibram Kendi, whose books explicitly call for discrimination, according to Jacobson….
“Unfortunately, the medical establishment, from the American Medical Association on down, is on board with the racialization of medicine. The groups that should ensure that medical education and care focus on individual patients, not political struggles, have not only abandoned the medical ship, they are helping sink it,” Jacobson said.

“The racialization of medical education and medicine constitutes a national emergency, and needs to be addressed by governors and state legislatures, as the current federal government and medical establishment is on board with the CRT agenda,” Jacobson said.
The recent Supreme Court decision on Affirmative Action will have an impact:
Jacobson feels the Supreme Court’s recent ruling striking down affirmative action, while in the context of school admissions, applies equally to patient care.
“The racialization of medicine almost certainly will end up in the Supreme Court. Two Supreme Court Justices recently cautioned that ‘in the event that any government again resorts to racial or ethnic classifications to ration medical treatment, there would be a very strong case for prompt review by this Court,’” he said.
As a result, many institutions have offered statements about the ruling. CriticalRace.org performed a “segmentation analysis of these responses based on the substantive content presented within those statements. At the outset, it should be noted that all 38 medical school individual responses either convey outright disappointment or disagreement with the SCOTUS ruling or, alternatively, reaffirm the school’s diversity or social justice admissions goals notwithstanding the ruling,” the group wrote.
Our databases at CriticalRace.org have become a go-to resource for parents, students, and researchers. We have had almost 3 million page views and almost 8 million user actions since inception. The website has been linked and cited almost 150 times by other media.
Our CriticalRace.org project also is transitioning beyond the databases. W are beginning to produce substantive analysis and research. This year we have been conducting detailed parent surveys and intensive ‘deep-values’ interviews, to understand better what help parents feel they need. We expect to have the results of this research, and a parents’ guide, by the end of the third quarter of this year.
That, coupled with (excessive bureaucratic regulations) are driving them out of business. They are retiring, abandoning their practices, planning to retire, etc. When these physicians leave, it's going to leave a huge gap in medicine. It'll be very hard for the average American to find decent health care.
But, rest assured, the pimps and globalist whores in Kongress who singlehandedly created this mess will always have 5 star care.
Republicans need to be attacking this far more than they have been. It’s a problem that’s easy to explain — almost everyone wants the best doctors.
Every leftist in the USA needs more education.
This house has room for nine families Comrade Doctor.
This was tried once before, in 1971-1975, with predictable results.
But it was still possible then to fail out of medical school, that is no longer true.
Managed care would take medicine in only one direction - control of individual health by the administrative state.
Doctors who once were independent and autonomous became employees.
Conservatives have sat by meekly for decades as radical leftists infiltrated education, and buried itself deep in the bureaucracy to establish one party rule. Although we occasionally stood athwart history, whispering *stop*
What would cause anyone to think the leftist destruction of medicine would have a different outcome???
Just look at the embarrassing dissent written by Justice Jackson in which she claimed black babies have twice the survival rate if treated by black doctors. It’s been soundly criticized by those in the legal profession.

Their goal is to increase the number of AA medical students and if they can’t use skin color they are planning to use history of disadvantage to rank applicants.
That will be a disaster. We already have a justice who doesn’t understand arithmetic. I personally know of a well known medical school that admitted a student who desperately needed tutoring in arithmetic. Not algebra - basic arithmetic.

I keep seeing this narrative of blaming Conservatives. Conservatives have not been a majority or had power in the US since... forever. The last time might have been during the Reagan years, and a brief spurt when Newt put forth the Contract With America. Other than that, Conservatives have been marginalized by the GOP, demonized by leftist media and virtually ignored by mainstream Americans.
Stop blaming Conservatives for every ill in America, for f’s sake.
True conservatism has never really been tried.😄
“True conservatism has never really been tried.😄”
Because true conservatism has never been popular enough to give Conservatives the power to implement Conservatism. It’s just not fun enough (vs. spending like drunken sailors in port) for most folks.
It’s the logical follow-on to Obamacare.
