Going woke means more than, as the saying says, going broke. It also means the ultimate loss of life. The grip of wokeness on our society will eventually kill Americans.
Let’s begin with health care. Medical school students, whose learning should be focused on the healing arts, are being taught social justice ideology. Apparently, white supremacy, oppression, and structural racism must be addressed by America’s doctors-to-be, as well as the sin of being white.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion studies are being required at some schools, which of course crowds out time used in the past to acquire the knowledge and develop the skills needed to be a good doctor. Politics have no place in medical schools, but there they are.
At the same time, some schools, as many as 40, are dropping standardized testing for diversity’s sake, reports the Daily Caller. The Medical College Admission Test, which “determines an individual’s ability to problem solve, think critically, and understand concepts about medical study,” does not serve the purposes of the social justice mafia. Now there are other legitimate academic avenues to medical school outside the MCAT. But as we’ve seen in other institutions of higher learning, standards designed to demonstrate and ensure competence are being killed off.
Given these facts, it’s a certainty that many of this country’s doctors of tomorrow and beyond will not have the competence needed to keep patients alive and well. Americans will die or suffer unnecessarily because wokeness demanded that the medical community marginalize them.
Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, a former University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine professor and associate dean who wrote “Take Two Aspirin and Call Me By My Pronouns,” says the ”quiet woke revolution” that had been capturing medicine “erupted in spring 2020 into a full-blown revolution.”
One win for the woke insurgency is the American Medical Association’s “Organizational Strategic Plan to Embed Racial Justice and Advance Health Equity.” Goldfarb says that “unlike other social justice programs, this program is lethal” and “will tangibly reduce the quality of medical care, and almost every American will suffer its side effects.” If medical schools “cut training time in biochemistry and pharmacology for future doctors” to make room for studies that are political in nature, someone is bound to die.
Wokeness is also being found at engineering schools, where DEI programs are growing. We’re told DEI programs and administrators are necessary to ensure fairness and root out exclusion, but “the real goal of the DEI brigade,” says the Stanford Review, the university’s independent newspaper, “is to politicize what should be one of the most concrete and objective disciplines: engineering.” While the “DEI brigade’s” stated goals aren’t being met as promised, progress is being made “in the real agenda of eroding meritocracy.”....
It is hard to believe.
...which is why I refer to ‘DEI’ as ‘DIE’...more applicable to our situation.
DIE versity is a strength.
Bill Gates did admit the plan is to reduce the population by 15%.
Woke = Sin
I love ESG!
It destroys Woke Corporations one bankruptcy at a time.
Too slow, and too much collateral damage to innocents for me.
I want punitive firing of the responsible executives by the truckload. Along with all of their minions who supported and enforced those policies.
The population cult wants 15% left alive in their perfect world.
Oops, I hit it backwards. You are correct. Thanks.
