Mass. Hospital Warns It Could Deny Care to Patients Who Use Anti-Woke Language 'Words or actions that are disrespectful, racist, discriminatory, hostile or harassing are not welcome and will not be tolerated....'

The video from Milford Regional Medical Center’s website features Peter Smulowitz, the hospital’s chief medical officer, announcing that the hospital will be implementing a new code of conduct to guarantee an “inclusive” environment...“Words or actions that are disrespectful, racist, discriminatory, hostile or harassing are not welcome and will not be tolerated.”

including:

After garnering unwanted media attention following its Jan. 3 release, the video was subsequently unlisted from the hospital’s YouTube site but remained embedded and accessible via the website’s code of conduct page. It is now available for public view at Headline USA’s YouTube page

As several conservatives pointed out, it was not clear how Milford Regional planned to determine what was and was not “offensive,” making it likely that the policy would be disproportionately biased against speech that did not fall in with the woke agenda.

So a mass murderer can come in and get a lopadickoffame procedure, and it’s fine. Let’s have the taxpayers cover that cost.

But some citizen with legitimate insurance unknowingly offends some woketard? Let him die on the curb...

Would I be correct in assuming the hospitals will not apply the test to their illegal alien patients?

Sorry, but if you deny necessary care to someone, for any reason who needs care, you are in violation of Federal law.. period.

. . . What a superb word!

Which is a fitting response to the wanton warring wordcraft of a wokeism warrior against what God ordained, by a feminist who is employed from a college founded in 1824 by Episcopal Bishop Philander Chase, but now has a potential candidate ("Brianna Thompson") for the office of implementation WOKE policies under the auspices of a Council of Transexuality:

"...intersections with race, ethnicity, coloniality, class and ability, the sex/gender system of oppression has long served as a taxonomizing apparatus. And yet, the literary, in league with anticolonial, civil rights and LGBTQ social movements,...animates the liberatory potential of imagining embodied relations otherwise... representations of gender and sexuality can leverage critiques against normativity...Taking our transnational cue from subjugated knowledges and intersectional epistemologies, we’ll constellate the diverging genealogies and methodologies...
Against the traffic of binary opposition, we’ll index the possibilities of intimacy and performativity... As a class collective, our aim is to read and reread as well as write and rewrite texts that interrogate and complicate how gender and sexuality, as contested sites of pleasure and pain, are embodied and experienced."
This counts toward the methods requirement for the major. Prerequisite: ENGL 103 or 104. Open only to first-year and sophomore students.

Author is Brianna Thompson, who teaches courses in American women’s literature, queer theory and utopias/Afrofuturism at Kenyon college (founded by Episcopal Bishop in 1824). Course is Reading and Writing Gender and Sexuality ENGL 214, https://www.kenyon.edu/academics/departments-and-majors/english/academic-program-requirements/courses-in-english/

Yes, and the list goes on of characteristics which indicate a person of interest, in rooting out all who resist or refuse to salute the flag of infanticide and Sodom.
