Top Med School Criticized for Offering ‘Health Equity Course’ 

The Washington University School of Medicine has been scrutinized after offering a course that taught about puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and how Western nutrition is linked to racism. 

A summer course at the university in St. Louis, Missouri, called “Health Equity and Justice” allegedly saw professors advocate for cross-sex hormones but fail to acknowledge the neural impact of the practice, according to Fox News Digital. 

According to lecture slides obtained by the news outlet, the students were also taught that nutrition is corrupted by racism. 

The slide shows a TikTok video explaining that the caucasian doctor who initially discovered how many calories were needed daily in order to survive, Dr. Lionel Bradley Pett, based his findings on “exactly what it took to keep the human body alive by starving native children to death.”
