A Columbia University professor who participated in pro-Hamas protests has been connected to more than $100 million in grants while she has promoted the idea that brain disease can be catalyzed by racism.

Columbia neuropsychologist Jennifer J. Manly “stood in a human blockade intending to prevent administrators from dismantling the unauthorized encampments last April,” City Journal’s Christopher Rufo and Hannah Grossman note, adding, “According to the National Institutes of Health and other publicly accessible databases, she has been named in connection with over $100 million in grants over the past 20 years.”

EXCLUSIVE: Seattle Children’s Hospital Renamed DEI Programs to Sidestep Trump, Employee Says

Seattle Children’s Hospital renamed its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs to circumvent President Donald Trump’s directives, a whistleblower tells The Daily Signal. 

On Day One of his presidency, Trump signed an executive order to terminate “diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) discrimination in the federal workforce and in federal contracting and spending.” 

For Seattle Children’s Hospital to continue receiving hundreds of millions in federal funding for research, grants, and more, it was required to end to its DEI-focused programs.

I’m a detransitioner — Congress must stop hospitals’ abuse of kids like me

The media have focused endless attention on the many kids who are trying to transition genders.

But what about the growing number of young adults who are detransitioning — who regret the sex changes that doctors and nurses told us to undergo when we were kids?

The young girls and boys who were lied to — who were abused — by the medical system we were told to trust when we were most impressionable, most vulnerable?

Fire professors who oppose ‘gender-affirming care,’ Harvard faculty chair says

‘Efforts to chill speech’ have had ‘disastrous consequences for the kids caught up in this mess,’ medical advocacy group says

Professors who are critical of “gender-affirming care” should be fired and lose their academic titles, a Harvard University professor and faculty chair recently said.

“There’s a particular place in hell for academics who use their academic expertise and power to distort and do violence to people in the world,” Professor Timothy McCarthy told Washington Square News. The New York University student newspaper interviewed McCarthy for his thoughts about two professors at the school who are affiliated with groups that are critical of surgical and chemical interventions for gender dysphoria.

GOP moves to defund hospitals that perform sex-change procedures on minors

FIRST ON FOX: A new House GOP bill would block federal funding for hospitals that perform sex-change surgeries on minors.

The legislation, led by Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, and backed by interest groups Do No Harm and Genspect, specifically targets funding that medical centers receive through a program aimed at fostering new children’s physicians.

“We’re standing for basic medical ethics and recognizing those who have been silenced and betrayed by a system that put ideology ahead of genuine care,” Crenshaw told Fox News Digital. “Medicine should be grounded in truth and healing—not in false promises that cause lasting harm.”

Detransitioners need more than one day of recognition. They need diagnosis codes

,

Wednesday is Detransition Awareness Day, but the healthcare system is unaware of detransitioners 365 days a year. A growing number of individuals regret having received irreversible “gender-affirming” interventions, with many having had their gender distress erroneously attributed to a transgender identity. Despite their continued medical struggles, detransitioners are invisible within the system of medical diagnosis codes, rendering them and their iatrogenic condition nonexistent.

The healthcare system recognizes patients treated for gender nonconformity with multiple International Classification of Diseases diagnosis codes that allow clinicians to accurately document these visits, making them, like all billed clinical encounters, amenable to tracking and research.

Med School Mission Statements Defy the End of DEI and Grow Even More Woke

The election of President Donald Trump has brought the end of many ridiculous and often dangerous Biden-era practices. One thing Americans have been delighted to see is the demise of the practice of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). From classrooms to workplaces to even things like airlines and the medical field, Americans don’t care what you look like; they care whether or not you are qualified for the position you hold. Many of the nation’s colleges and universities are ending this divisive system; others, however, are digging in. Who are the schools that just can’t quit DEI? Medical schools. 

In mid-February, the Department of Education issued a memo — an extension of President Trump’s executive order eliminating DEI from the federal government. It stated that schools and universities had two weeks to eliminate all DEI initiatives. But many of the nation’s medical schools are resisting that call and, in fact, are crafting mission statements that are increasingly packed with DEI language. Do No Harm is a medical advocacy organization made up of doctors and other medical professionals. One of their goals is to keep DEI and wokeness out of the medical field.

EXCLUSIVE: Medical Schools Press Ahead Answering ‘Clarion Call’ To Wokeness

Medical school mission statements are becoming increasingly laden with diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and social justice language, a report released Monday found.

Do No Harm, a medical advocacy organization working to keep DEI and other political topics out of medicine, reviewed 158 medical school mission statements and found that 77% could be classified as “woke” in 2024, a number that increased substantially from 68% in 2021, according to a report first shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. The report also found that “Higher ranked medical schools were more likely to increase the wokeness of their mission.”

daily“There are desirable qualities to diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice, but when these terms are presented together in the context of a mission statement, they are markers for a particular worldview,” the report reads. “That ‘woke’ worldview indicates a significant departure from the traditional American emphasis on individual responsibility and equal treatment in favor of emphasizing differentiated treatment by group identity and social rather than individual justice.”

Oregon Lies About Transgender Treatments for Kids

The state is endangering minors despite no sound evidence showing the benefits of transgender treatments — and mounting evidence showing the harm.

Who cares about truth — or protecting kids — when gender ideology is on the line?

That’s the best way to understand Oregon’s decision on February 7 to join a court case against the Trump administration’s new limitations on transgender treatments for children and teenagers under 19 years old. The lawsuit was filed by Attorney General Dan Rayfield as one of his first acts in office, but state records reveal the suit rests on a foundation of falsehoods.

Hospitals warned they must protect children from chemical and surgical mutilation: HHS agency memo

A major agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) sent a memo to hospitals and medical providers in the U.S. this week reminding them of “the dangerous chemical and surgical mutilation of children, including interventions that cause sterilization,” and vowed the agency would continue aligning its policies with President Donald Trump’s executive orders. 

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which provides health coverageto more than 100 million people through Medicare, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, sent a memo Wednesday that was obtained by Fox News Digital reiterating “the program requirements of hospitals to serve all patients, especially children, with dignity and adherence to the highest standard of care that is informed by robust evidence and the utmost scientific integrity.” The memo is effective immediately.

Nation’s top chemistry group sued over race-based scholarship

EXCLUSIVE — The nation’s largest network for scientists and chemists is facing a legal challenge over a scholarship program that allegedly blocks students from applying based on race.

The American Chemical Society, or ACS, is facing a federal lawsuit claiming its ACS Scholars Program unlawfully excludes white and Asian students, reserving eligibility for “historically underrepresented”groups such as black, Hispanic, and Native American applicants. The complaint, filed in Washington D.C. federal court by the nonprofit organization Do No Harm, argues that the program violates the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Hospitals conducting transgender procedures on children supported by billions in taxpayer dollars

Nonprofit hospitals responsible for performing thousands of sex change operations on children have been raking in billions of dollars in public funding every year, a Washington Examiner review of public records has found.

The Washington Examiner identified 15 hospitals performing a considerable number of transgender surgeries and prescribing large quantities of “gender-affirming” hormones using a Do No Harm database that compiles insurance claims to provide detailed information about the activities of hospitals. Collectively, the hospitals brought in over $1 billion in government grants during the most recent year for which tax disclosures are available. 

Though some of the grants doled out by the federal government to these healthcare providers do explicitly concern transgender medical care, most do not. That said, the massive amount of federal dollars flowing into these hospital systems every year provides the Trump administration with significant leverage to pressure them into ceasing transgender operations on minors.

Supreme Court transgender case may weaken suits against Trump orders

A forthcoming Supreme Court decision in a case known as United States v. Skrmetti could significantly weaken lawsuits challenging President Donald Trump’s recent executive orders related to transgender procedures for minors.

If the Supreme Court eventually rules to uphold Tennessee’s Senate Bill 1, a state ban on gender-affirming care for minors, it could erode the constitutional arguments central to challenges against Trump’s transgender-related executive orders, many of which rely on 14th Amendment equal protection claims.

Make the DOGE cuts permanent, Europe needs an army and other commentary

Libertarian: Make the DOGE Cuts Permanent

“To make the DOGE spending cuts stick,” Sen. Rand Paul is encouraging “Vice President J.D. Vance to have the Trump administration draw up a rescission package” for Congress to pass, and so formally withdraw “spending Congress had previously authorized,” reports Reason’s Eric Boehm. As Paul points out: “If we want to have real savings,” then the Trump administration “is going to have to send this back to Congress, and Congress is going to have to approve of spending less money.” Boehm explains: “A rescission bill can pass the Senate with a simple majority, and Paul believes there would be enough support.” Plus, “a vote on a rescission bill would solve some of the legal and procedural questions about DOGE’s spending cuts.”

EXCLUSIVE: Cleveland Clinic Pushes ‘Discriminatory’ Programs While Taking Fed Cash, Watchdog Says

A medical watchdog says that the Cleveland Clinic is taking hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding while pushing race-based programs and policies.

Do No Harm, an organization dedicated to depoliticizing medicine, reported Monday that the Ohio clinic is engaged in a range of “discriminatory behavior.” This behavior includes recruitment strategies explicitly for minorities, minority-exclusive scholarships, and adopting “supplier diversity” policies. 

“The Cleveland Clinic used to be synonymous with excellence,” Do No Harm Director of Research Ian Kingsbury told The Daily Wire. “Now, it’s becoming an avatar for everything that is wrong with American health care. It’s a sorry tale about the displacement of rigor and dispassionate truth seeking in favor of identity politics.”

National Cancer Institute spends $218M per year on grants for ‘underrepresented’ groups: source

FIRST ON FOX: A watchdog group focused on getting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) out of medicine found that the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is actively spending millions of grant dollars to boost the number of racial minorities in the cancer workforce. 

This funding, uncovered by the nonprofit watchdog Do No Harm, shows that $218 million in NCI grants for “underrepresented” groups – mainly racial minorities – is actively dispersed by the NCI. Prior to President Donald Trump taking office, during the Biden administration, around 3% of the NCI’s total grant funding every year went to institutions so that they can hire more faculty members and scientists who are minorities, according to Do No Harm.

The revelation comes as Elon Musk’s DOGE puts a slew of funds related to DEI on the chopping block amid efforts to slim down government spending. Trump and fellow Republicans have pushed hard against DEI policies throughout the government in recent weeks, making the case that public programs should instead focus on meritocracy.
