US medical schools have gone DEI-crazy — with deadly results
NY Post ^ | Sep. 26, 2026 | Post Editorial Board

Racism plagues American health care — reverse racism.

The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division just brought another case against a top medical school for blatant discrimination against white and Asian applicants: Blacks applying to the University of California at San Francisco’s med school get admitted at almost 13 times the rate of similarly qualified white applicants.

Black and Hispanic students the school admitted from 2023 to ’25 averaged lower test scores and undergraduate grades than the average white and Asian applicant the school rejected.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon’s letter blasting UCSF follows similar ones to UCLA, UCSD and Yale; virtually every other US med school is likely as bad, but she’s building the evidence before she strikes.

The University of Pennsylvania offers a path for students at eight other colleges to enter medical school without taking the MCAT at all — and five of the eight are historically black colleges.

At the University of Texas-Southwestern, per data from medical-accountability watchdog Do No Harm, “black applicants had 21 times the odds of acceptance compared to white applicants with similar academic credentials,” to choose another.

Sadly, this racism isn’t remotely new: These admission disparities started back in the late 1960s.

What’s gotten markedly worse is how the schools have eviscerated their standards for graduation, as well as their curricula.

Richard Bosshardt, a surgeon and Do No Harm senior fellow, notes that “many candidates for certification” now take “seven hours to complete an operation that should take at most four” and cites “a rise in patients’ post-operative complications” driven significantly by schools that fear “to correct, hold back, or drop underperforming minority trainees.”

Med schools have been reducing required classes in actual medicine and adding ones in “social justice.”

In 2016 a black doctor saved my life by keeping me in the hospital instead of sending me home. My heart stopped that night and I woke up in ICU.

However he was old enough that I don’t think he got his degree thanks to his skin color. I’ve heard horror stories about some new black doctors and I will not let any of them near me.

What they have done is guarantee rejection of any minority Medical professional. How could you trust one? This BS is getting people killed now. If you thought they would draw a line you were wrong.

I’ve seen five repeats for two posts.

As for me and doctors, my personal preference would be for a doctor to have 10 years of experience. Enough years to have seen most things but not having been taught largely outdated treatment.

those who eviscerated the previous high
standards for graduation and medical practice
should be tried, exposed,
lose their licenses, then jailed.

Americans need competent and compassionate physicians—NOT politically or racially correct quacks!!

Ask yourself, “why”? And “who do their unethical desires serve”?

The problem exists even with well known medical schools. I know first hand of a well known medical school that admitted a student who had no understanding of fractions or decimals. Imagine him prescribing your drugs. Millimeters and centimeters were beyond his understanding. He probably graduated though.

What do you call a medical student who finishes at the bottom of their class?

“Doctor”

Dei doctors are a perfect answer for the adminisrative problems the New Axis of Evil Democrats communists and Muslims will have if we let them run our lives. The Dei doctors keep the moinorities happy, and the people they kill will statistically be Whites whom they need to get rid of. For them it’s a win - win. For us it’s a lose lose.
You have to stop this nightmare. Do what you can with what you have: volunteer if you can, wave signs on street corners if you can, donate if you can, and above all use the best weapon we have and one they could never use- PRAYER. Ask our Holy Father to save us from these evil people.

If you study the communist revolution in China, you will understand. The regime killed almost all the physicians, replacing them with student activists. Millions died. When a party member became ill, a few hundred physicians had been put in prison. The regime would grant prisoner release to treat the party member, then put them back into prison.

History repeats itself, folks.

“Why”.

The Med schools are just trying to preserve the social security system—by killing off old and sick people as quickly as possible.

:-(

Old news and propaganda. China is more capitalist than us now. We are the ones who have become communist in our schools and colleges.

This is happening all over the county and not just in med schools

DEI is killing our education system and industry

It’s really bad in aviation. The industry is going through a generational change with a lot of experienced old hands timing out and being replaced by inexperienced DEI hires

What could possibly go wrong with that

I was told by a liberal, "It doesn't matter how they got in, as long as they're qualified when they graduate."

This, of course, assumes they're just as qualified as all the other graduates.
