The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) launched a federal investigation March 6 into St. Louis University (SLU) after a complaint was filed accusing the school of offering a racially discriminatory scholarship, medical watchdog group Do No Harm reported.

There’s a sickness at Georgia’s biggest medical school.

Out of sight of the public eye, the taxpayer-funded Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University is promoting divisive and even discriminatory ideas. Turns out, the same “Critical Race Theory” philosophy that has corrupted K-12 education and led to movements like “Defund the Police” has made its way into medical education, too.

As a black woman myself, I am raising the alarm. Every Georgian should be worried because what happens in medical schools ultimately affects all of our health.
