Ohio State University health course requires students to address their White, heterosexual privileges

Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, who serves as chairman of Do No Harm, told Fox News Digital that the course furthers a narrative seen across many American universities that are “indoctrinating students.”

“The curriculum within Ohio State University’s Health Sciences Program highlights a broader trend found in many universities nationwide – the adoption of divisive and political ideologies aimed at indoctrinating students,” Goldfarb said. “They theorize that interactions between groups must be viewed through the lens of critical race theory and the oppressor/oppressed dyad. This is pure identity politics and can only lead to divisiveness and intergroup hostility.”

UK school guidance on gender transitions contrasts with ‘lax’ US approach

United Kingdom Gender Ideology Media Mention

The government of the United Kingdom is set to release new guidelines for how schools should respond to students who claim a transgender identity, and indications are that the guidelines will be stricter than those in the United States.

The issue of how schools respond to transgender students has become a culture war flashpoint over the past several years. School districts in the United States have faced a cascade of lawsuits and scrutiny over policies allowing students to adopt a different gender identity at school without parental knowledge or consent.

EXCLUSIVE: Here’s a Look at How Reporters Push Transgender Ideology

Wisconsin Gender Ideology Media Mention

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL: Local media outlets have come under fire in recent years for buying into activists’ framing and talking points on so-called gender-affirming care — attempted transgender sex-change operations, hormonal interventions, and social affirmations, even for minors.

Emails obtained by the organization Do No Harm, an organization which combats gender ideology in the medical profession, provide a look at how that type of story is crafted. Do No Harm obtained a June 15 exchange between Capital Times reporter Erin McGroarty, who specializes in “investigating disinformation” for the newspaper in Madison, Wisconsin, and Sara Benzel, media manager at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Health, a medical organization that offers “gender-affirming care” for children.

McGroarty, who did not personally respond to requests for comment, asked for information to “counter” the messaging put out by the pro-family organization Wisconsin Family Action. That messaging highlighted the dangers of administering cross-sex hormones to young people and condemned a Dane County, Wisconsin, resolution to declare itself a “sanctuary county” for individuals who identify as transgender.

Higher education ‘intellectual diversity’ bill debated at Statehouse

Ohio DEI Media Mention

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – A bill that would make several changes to higher education in Ohio took another step forward at the Statehouse on Wednesday, but the fate of the legislation remains unclear.

Senate Bill 83, the “Higher Education Enhancement Act,” passed the Senate back in May. And after extensive changes were made to the legislation, still, on Wednesday, 13 supporters and 135 opposers testified about the bill.

The bill would do a number of things like change and standardize the tenure evaluation system across universities, but most of the conversation centered around the portions of the bill that would require intellectual diversity is demonstrated for course approval and prohibit mandatory diversity equity and inclusion classes.

Goldfarb: CRT Fuels Campus Anti-Semitism

United States DEI Op-Ed Stanley Goldfarb

Conventional wisdom holds that the current outpouring of anti-Semitism on college campuses is just the latest outburst of an ancient hatred.

There’s no doubt that hatred of Jews has a long history.

What’s happening today also bears the hallmark of a newer evil: Critical Race Theory (CRT). The language that students are using when violently protesting or tearing down posters of Hamas’s victims is the language of racial division and woke ideology, applied to the Jews.

Watch out! Antisemitism is soaring in US medicine

United States DEI Op-Ed Ian Kingsbury, PhD, Jay Greene, PhD

Antisemitism is now a full-blown crisis on the college campus, but it doesn’t end there: Similar hatred is increasingly widespread in the medical profession, where it’s even more dangerous.

Doctors, nurses and medical students who are supposed to heal are instead promoting hate — a fact that should terrify Jewish patients and anyone else who expects equal and excellent medical care.

In a new report, we’ve documented many of the antisemitic outbursts that have characterized much of medicine since Oct. 7.

Bad Medicine

DEI Media Mention Ian Kingsbury, PhD, Jay Greene, PhD

A wave of open Jew-hatred by medical professionals, medical schools, and professional associations in the wake of the Hamas slaughter suggests that a field entrusted with healing is becoming a licensed purveyor of hatred..

‘DEI’ Is an Enemy of Free Speech, Not a Friend

United States DEI Op-Ed Stanley Goldfarb

How do you know when the good guys are winning? When the bad guys start denying what they’re really doing.

Such is the case with the most ardent defenders of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” in higher education. More states are trying to drive this divisive and discriminatory ideology off the college campus. Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed a law to that effect in May, while Wisconsin’s Republican state legislature is pushing for a similar policy. The 2024 state legislative season may see at least a dozen states enact reforms.

Thousands of Doctors Signed an Anti-Israel Letter So Radical, Even The Lancet Won’t Publish It

United States Media Mention

The Lancet, one of the world’s oldest and most influential medical journals, agreed to publish an open letter signed by more than 3,000 physicians and demanding actions that would undermine Israel’s ability to protect itself from another Oct. 7-style terrorist attack. The letter also framed Israel’s response to the massacre of its citizens as an attack on “human rights.”

A few weeks after the letter received stiff criticism, The Lancet appears to have reconsidered.

“This is a copy of the letter titled ‘A Call to Action: An Open Letter from Global Health Professionals’ as it was to appear in an academic journal,” reads a note on the document. “Following acceptance and copy-editing by the journal, the decision to publish was rescinded.”

Former DEI head exposes TRUTH about ‘inclusion’ on woke college campuses

United States DEI Media Mention, Video Tabia Lee, EdD

Back in 2021, Tabia Lee, EdD, was head of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) department at Silicon Valley’s De Anza College. At the time, she thought DEI was actually about inclusion. But almost immediately, she discovered the truth: “It was like I was in the Twilight Zone.” She tells Glenn that it only took two weeks for some of her fellow staff members to call her a “dirty zionist” who was “supporting white supremacy.” On top of that, she was told by many people, including Jewish students, that there was a problem with anti-Semitism on campus, despite its alleged commitment to inclusion. Now, she is a senior fellow at Do No Harm Medicine and has decided to expose the dangerous way American colleges have started to view “social justice.”

Culture War | Medical Societies Captured by Woke Worldview

Media Mention, Video Stanley Goldfarb

Dr. Stanley Goldfarb joins the Moms on a Mission Podcast again to discuss his book, “Take Two Aspirin And Call Me By My Pronouns” and the infection of social justice and opinion- based medicine into American medicine. He exposes the fact that there is no evidence based data being used to support the hijacking of our healthcare system. He says that if we focus on sociopolitical issues and identity politics in attempting to resolve disparities, we are definitely going to fail because there is no evidence that that is the solution to the problem.

Antisemitism linked to college DEI

DEI Media Mention

There’s a high price to pay for colleges’ “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) programs. If you doubt it, look at how many college students are openly embracing antisemitism in response to the Israeli-Hamas conflict.

While many Americans have been shocked, that prejudice is sadly the product of many campus cultures, particularly DEI programs.

Tabia Lee, a black woman who previously served two years as a faculty DEI director at De Anza College in California, noted that reality in a recent New York Post column.

Lee warned, “At its worst, DEI is built on the unshakable belief that the world is divided into two groups of people: the oppressors and the oppressed. Jews are categorically placed in the oppressor category, while Israel is branded a ‘genocidal, settler, colonialist state.’ In this worldview, criticizing Israel and the Jewish people is not only acceptable but praiseworthy.”

National Counseling Organizations Push Transgender Ideology On Mental Health Professionals, In Schools

Gender Ideology Media Mention

Prominent mental health organizations have come out in support of transgender ideology, demanding that counselors affirm feelings of gender dysphoria in patients and advocate for policies that push transgenderism in schools.

The American School Counselor Association (ASCA), which reports a membership of 43,000 counselors and has certified trainers across the country, is demanding that school counselors “promote affirmation” for those who identify as transgender.

“Schools should make every effort to use students’ chosen/affirmed names on student records, even if a legal name change has not been made,” a statement from the organization reads, before saying that individual staff members should also use students’ “affirmed name.”

Watchdog Sues Tennessee Governor Over ‘Unlawful Racial Quotas’ for Medical Board Appointments

Tennessee DEI Media Mention

Do No Harm (DNH), an organization that monitors divisive ideologies infiltrating health care institutions, has filed a federal lawsuit regarding what it describes as “unlawful racial quotas” required by the Tennessee state government for medical board appointments.

The Tennessee Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners is required to have one of its members be nonwhite, which DNH states “has nothing to do with podiatry.”

“State medical boards are given important responsibilities to oversee the quality of care in their state and the safety of patients,” said Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, board chair of DNH. “It is crucial that they be the most qualified physicians available. Like all aspects of health care, patient safety and patient concerns should be primary, not the skin color or the racial makeup of any oversight committee.”

Doctors should practice ‘anti-racist documentation,’ paper argues

DEI Media Mention

‘The New England Journal of Medicine is the world’s leading health journal. It’s troubling that they indulge woke activists at the expense of common sense and scientific rigor,’ anti-woke group says

A Georgetown University doctor has produced a paper recommending changes to medicine that would make it a more “anti-racist institution.”

Dr. J. Corey Willams, a graduate of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the Yale University Psychiatry Residency Program, says that “Clinicians receive inconsistent instruction on how to use patients’ racial identities in clinical documentation and decision making, and often document this information without clear reasons or an understanding of its relevance.”

“Routine documentation of racial categories is rooted in the mythology of inherent biological differences between racial groups, especially between Black and non-Hispanic White people,” he wrote in the New England Journal of Medicine paper. He had eight other co-authors.

Tennessee’s Lee sued over racial-based oversight board member requirement

Tennessee DEI Media Mention

A Virginia-based nonprofit group called Do No Harm filed a lawsuit Wednesday against Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, attempting to block a mandate that every government regulatory board has at least one member who is a racial minority.

The Pacific Legal Foundation filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Nashville after a Tennessee resident and Do Not Harm member has not been placed on the Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners because he was not a racial minority.

Two positions on the six-member board became open in June and one of the spots being vacated includes the only board member who is a racial minority.

Medical Association Sues Red State Over Race Quotas On Government Boards

Tennessee DEI Media Mention

An association of medical professionals filed a lawsuit against Tennessee Wednesday over a requirement that one member of each government licensing board be a racial minority.

One of the two seats that opened on Tennessee’s Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners in June must be reserved for a racial minority. The Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF) filed a lawsuit challenging the requirement on behalf of the medical organization Do No Harm, which has “one or more members who are qualified, willing, and able to be appointed to the Board of Podiatric Examiners, if the racial mandates were enjoined,” according to the complaint.
