University of Michigan medical students walk out of pro-life speaker's keynote address at White Coat Ceremony

Dozens of incoming University of Michigan Medical School students walked out of a pro-life keynote speaker’s address, after a previous petition to get the speaker removed failed.

Shortly after Dr. Kristin Collier, a pro-life assistant professor of medicine at UMMS, took to the stage Sunday to address the new students at their White Coat Ceremony, several dozen people got up from their seats and headed for the auditorium doors, video of the ceremony showed.

Collier’s speech was not expected to focus on abortion, but some students petitioned the school weeks prior to remove her as the keynote speaker over her support for the unborn.

The petition to remove Collier, who is also the director of the UMMS Program on Health Spirituality & Religion, was ultimately denied by the school’s dean, Dr. Marschall Runge.

In his decision, he expressed the "critical importance of diversity of personal thought and ideas, which is foundational to academic freedom and excellence," according to the report.

UMMS should expel the “students” who walked out. They’re unfit to be physicians.

They should walk out and stay out.

I don’t want doctors from the death cult of abortion working on me.

They attend an event just to make a show by walking out.
Such maturity for future health care providers. They are probably ok with taking a Pap smear from a man or giving a DRE to a woman too

This is a sad statement, but no surprise. I have two daughters who recently finished medical school, and both were indoctrinated by leftist physicians and professors far beyond what they experienced in undergrad. One emerged with politics diametrically opposed to what she was raised to believe, and the other, while initially taken in by wokeness, is beginning to have second thoughts.

Medical education (like nearly all others) has been thoroughly infiltrated and hijacked by the left. It is time for folks to recognize that their physicians may not hold the same values as their patients.

Dox and hound them online and in person. It’s what the left has introduced as the new rules of the game.

College freaks are like sheep. One of them does something and everyone within cellphone range follows them around without questioning why.

Maybe they should think about being something other than a doctor or a nurse?

Over the past several years, the medical community has made a joke of itself.

It’s hard to fight - they have such respect for those they look up to, when those same people push their politics it becomes accepted as “opinions from people far more knowledgeable than I”. So they adopt those positions.

Only life experience will teach them that such smart people can be absolute fools at the same time.

Yep, the medical industrial complex in the USA is one the most far left and tyrannical components of our society. Doctors should be looked at with suspicion until they earn your trust, especially those under 45.
