Fired DEI administrator: DEI ideology fosters campus antisemitism

A former college administrator wrote that campus antisemitism, on display over the past weeks in reaction to the Hamas attack on Israel, is deeply embedded in bad DEI thinking and policy.

“Toxic DEI ideology deliberately stokes hatred toward Israel and the Jewish people,” former DEI director Tabia Lee wrote in a New York Post op-ed last week.

Lee was fired from her administrator job at De Anza College in California earlier this year after objecting to some “antiracist” and gender ideologies, The College Fix reported. She filed a lawsuit against her former employer in July.

When ‘Critical Social Justice’ Rules on Campus

,

When I started in 2021, I made it a priority to create an inclusive learning environment for all students, including Jews, only to be stymied by some colleagues and administrators who were fully bought into “critical social justice.”

I was repeatedly told that fighting anti-Semitism and promoting Jewish inclusion don’t matter. Why? Because Jews are “white oppressors” and it was our job to “decenter whiteness.” Besides being willfully ignorant of the diversity of the Jewish diaspora, such racist language reflects an obsession with dividing people of different racial groups into categories of “oppressor” and “oppressed.”

Missouri Treasurer: Reps. Cleaver and Bush are wrong. Say no to race-based admissions | Opinion

Should universities discriminate by race? The obvious answer is no, and over the summer, the U.S. Supreme Court applied that answer to higher education nationwide. Missouri’s universities have now put an end to discriminatory and divisive race-based admissions.

As Missouri’s first person of color to hold statewide office,. I’m glad to see this backward practice disappear. Yet I’m deeply concerned that two of Missouri’s members of Congress are calling on Mizzou to bring back racial discrimination.

Detransitioners like me need a bill of rights

I tried to become a boy at 12. I tried to change back to a girl at 16. Now I’m 19. The “care” I received has left me with physical and mental challenges that I’ll probably carry for the rest of my life. 

I was abused and lied to by the medical professionals I was told to trust. They lied to my parents, too. They’re still abusing and lying to countless young boys and girls.

My transition happened fast. At age 11, I knew I was a girl, even though I had a tomboy streak and struggled to make friends with other girls. While puberty was rough, it never occurred to me that I was “supposed” to be a boy.

The American College of Surgeons Doubles Down on Anti-Racism

This week, the American College of Surgeons (ACS) is holding its annual Clinical Congress in Boston. The ACS is the oldest and largest professional organization in the world representing surgery and surgeons.

What is little known outside of the college is that, after the death of George Floyd, ACS leadership declared that the organization itself is structurally racist, expanding this claim to include its own member surgeons and even the practice of surgery itself.

‘Detransitioner Bill Of Rights’ Gives States Blueprint To Push Back On Radical Gender Ideology

An organization that works to oppose the injection of radical gender ideology into medicine is releasing model legislation that would provide legal remedies for so-called detransitioners who are seeking a way to reverse the effects of gender transition surgeries.

The Detransitioner Bill Of Rights, which was created by medical nonprofit Do No Harm and obtained exclusively by The Daily Wire, aims to address the spike in minors who come to regret their decision to undergo sex change treatments. It would help give those seeking to detransition financial access to medical treatments that would help reverse the effects of the transition procedures, as well as the ability to bring legal action against those who pushed the radical treatments on them.

Tennessee trans law is constitutional and necessary. The left can’t handle the truth

The federal courts have spoken. Tennessee’s law protecting children from transgender treatments is constitutional, according to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals late September. As the primary author of Tennessee’s law, I’m glad to have the judiciary’s approval. But this isn’t just a legal issue. It’s a basic matter of truth. 

My colleagues and I championed this reform out of a profound conviction that Tennessee should enshrine the truth in law. Modern society tells us that everyone can have their own truth, and that your truth and my truth can not only differ, but directly contradict each other. That’s not how truth works. There are scientific and moral truths that are timeless and eternal. The earth is round. Stealing is wrong. Biology is real.

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.”

Leading Medical School Claims Your Body Mass Index is Racist (Which We Guess Makes Being Fat “Equity”)

It has never been more clear that when they said ‘trust the science’ they really meant ‘trust the political science.’

We already know that fighting obesity is racist as progressives have made it clear this somehow reflects the racist” stigmatization” of Black bodies.

This is probably why Washington University of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, went all-in on pushing that agenda as they offered a summer course titled “Health Equity and Justice.”

Prominent med school pushes curriculum claiming BMI and nutrition are racist

The Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri has taken an alarming turn in pushing progressive ideas, especially in its latest summer course entitled “Health Equity and Justice.” Included in the curriculum is something called “Care of Transgender Patients,” discussions about how nutrition is racist, and how the science behind Body Mass Index is based on a white person’s body.

There were PowerPoint slides apparently obtained by Fox News that revealed the school is pushing its medical students to advocate for cross-sex hormones, even though they have acknowledged that there is little evidence on its neural impact. They also noted that there is little known about its effect on neural circuity.

Washington University School of Medicine says BMI is steeped in racism as its based on ‘ideal’ Caucasian and ignores other factors to determine health

A prestigious US medical school reportedly offered a course over the summer that promoted ‘alarming’ progressive ideals – including several relating to gender, and Diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

The course, titled ‘Health Equity and Justice,’ was held at Missouri‘s Washington University School of Medicine this past summer – and some of its alleged lessons were laid bare Sunday by Fox News.

The outlet shared a series of PowerPoint slides that seemed to show the class’s irregular content – including one that insisted that BMI should stand for ‘badly mistaken idea’ because it does not take into account ‘a person’s gender or ethnicity.’

Ban on Youth Sex-Change Surgeries Survives Court Challenge

An Oklahoma state law that makes it illegal to provide children with puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones or sex-change surgeries as a treatment for gender dysphoria has survived the first round of an ongoing court challenge.

U.S. District Judge John F. Heil, III, has denied plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction that would prevent enforcement of the law.

“Where, as here, there is robust scientific and political debate concerning a significant public-policy question, a court should be loath to step in to end the debate and thereby suggest it is all-knowing,” Heil wrote in his opinion and order. “The record in this case amply demonstrates that there is no consensus in the medical field about the extent of the risks or the benefits of the Treatment Protocols.”

Gov. Kevin Stitt welcomed the ruling.

Class at Washington University in St. Louis claims nutrition is racist, urges students to promote puberty blockers despite new Missouri law

Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis is pushing the idea that nutrition is somehow racist, and is still advocating for cross-sex hormones despite a new Missouri law banning them for children.

That’s according to a Sunday Fox News story that reports “Powerpoint presentation slides obtained by Fox News Digital show the school urging students in August to advocate for cross-sex hormones despite acknowledging the lack of evidence on its neural impact and admitting its effect on neural (circuitry) is ‘unknown.’”

Meanwhile, the report says a slide from the medical school’s Health Equity and Justice class this summer claims nutrition advice is steeped in racism because an early researcher “found out exactly what it took to keep the human body alive by starving native children to death.”

Moreover, the presentation seems to blame all white people.

FIRST ON FOX: The Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, Missouri offered a summer course titled “Health Equity and Justice,” which a medical and political advocacy group tells Fox News Digital is coupled with a controversial “Care of Transgender Patients” curriculum that promotes an “alarming” progressive gender agenda.

Powerpoint presentation slides obtained by Fox News Digital show the school urging students in August to advocate for cross-sex hormones despite acknowledging the lack of evidence on its neural impact and admitting its effect on neural circuity is “unknown.”

In another slide discussing “health equity”, a course claims that nutrition is tainted by racism. The slide contains a TikTok video explaining that the white doctor who first determined how many calories a day are needed in order to survive, Dr. Lionel Bradley Pett, “found out exactly what it took to keep the human body alive by starving native children to death.”
