University of California pushed DEI training that taught ‘equality isn’t fair’ before Trump discrimination probe

WASHINGTON — The University of California system forced students to undergo diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) training that taught “equality isn’t actually fair” and implied it may be “racist” to oppose the Black Lives Matter movement, according to internal records exclusively obtained by The Post.

The training module, contracted from a vendor used by the UC system as recently as the 2024-25 school year, largely consists of interactive role-playing scenarios in which students are forced to imagine situations involving perceived “microaggressions” against certain identities.

The training module was obtained via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from the advocacy group Do No Harm, which is focused on “keeping identity politics out of medical education, research, and clinical practice.”

FBI launches criminal probes into 3 children’s hospitals over child sex changes: Report

, ,

The medical advocacy group Do No Harm has in recent years worked with health care professionals, hospital administrators, patients, and policymakers to combat DEI-branded racism and gender ideology in the field of medicine.

In order to better tackle the second of these two scourges, the organization launched the Stop the Harm Database in October, identifying hospitals and medical facilities around the country that were subjecting vulnerable children to sex-change mutilations and sterilizing chemical treatments.

The FBI has launched criminal probes into three of the apparent worst offenders in the database — Boston Children’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital Colorado, and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles — a source familiar with the investigations told Fox News Digital this week.

Trump Admin Tells California to Remove Gender Ideology from Sex Education Program

A California sex education program has fewer than 60 days to remove gender ideology from its curricula and materials, or it risks losing federal funding.

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the Department of Health and Human Services sent a letter to California requiring the removal of “all gender ideology references” in its Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP).

PREP funds local agencies and provides sex education services in foster homes, homeless shelters, juvenile detention centers, and some schools. It reaches about 13,000 youth annually, primarily those at the highest risk of STI or teen pregnancy.

The letter from ACF cited various instances of content “outside of the scope of PREP’s authorizing statute.” Some examples included a middle school lesson that teaches about transgenderism and a teacher’s guide that says gender identity is distinct from biological sex.

UCSF scholarship for med students demands ‘commitment’ to DEI, ‘anti-racism’

The University of California San Francisco mandates that medical students applying for a specific scholarship showcase their dedication to the school’s “diversity, equity, and inclusion” principles or their engagement with “marginalized” communities.

A legal expert with a conservative think tank told The College Fix the scholarship seems to discriminate based on race, “almost certainly” violating the “Fourteenth Amendment.”

The Visiting Elective Scholarship Program is reserved for fourth-year medical students who are either “disadvantaged, have demonstrated a commitment to working with marginalized and traditionally disenfranchised populations, or have demonstrated a commitment to UCSF’s PRIDE value.”

Justice Thomas Echos OCPA Brief in Supreme Court Opinion

,

In 2023, the Oklahoma Legislature passed SB 613 and Gov. Kevin Stitt signed it into law. The bill prohibited the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones on minors as well as sex-change surgeries for minors. 

Soon after the law was passed, the ACLU sued to enjoin the law in federal court. OCPA, along with Do No Harm, filed an amicus brief in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma. After the district judge denied the ACLU’s motion for a preliminary injunction, the ACLU appealed to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, where OCPA and Do No Harm, again, filed an amicus brief with the Court.

Trump saved my medical practice from a racist mandate

Of all the things President Donald Trump is doing right, the best is his rollback of racist woke mandates. Case in point: The Trump administration just announced that it’s ditching a discriminatory rule that former President Joe Biden slapped on my private medical practice. The administration announced this in a lawsuit I filed to stop the mandate. Now, my patients and I can breathe a sigh of relief.

I sued the Biden administration in 2023 with the help of the medical advocacy group Do No Harm. The Department of Health and Human Services had just introduced a regulation that pressured doctors like me to develop a so-called “anti-racism plan.” From the moment I heard about it, I knew it was wrong. Anti-racism is just racism in disguise. It’s part of the woke demand that we treat people differently based on the color of their skin. Last I checked, that’s called racial discrimination, and it’s both wrong and illegal under federal law.

Democrats, major medical groups denounce Supreme Court’s gender-affirming care ruling

Democratic leaders and professional medical organizations on Wednesday denounced the Supreme Court’s ruling that upheld a 2023 Tennessee law banning gender-affirming care for transgender minors, a decision the high court delivered along ideological lines and one that stands to impact similar laws passed in roughly half the country. 

The high court’s three Democratic-appointed justices dissented from the conservative majority. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, said Wednesday’s decision “abandons transgender children and their families to political whims.”

Author of New Book Says DEI Isn’t Going Anywhere at America’s Med Schools

Most Americans don’t care who you are or what you look like; they care whether or not you can do the job. Their first questions are, do you know what you’re doing? Are you competent? Not really too much to ask. Since President Donald Trump was elected, he has made it a top priority to rid America of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). There have been great strides made in some areas. But in others, the practice of discriminating against people based on what they look like, to rid the practice of discriminating against people based on what they look like, is firmly entrenched, and it could potentially be very dangerous.

Dr. Stanley Goldfarb is the Chairman of Do No Harm. It is made up of a group of medical professionals whose goal is to keep identity politics out of the medical profession. He has written a new book called “Doing Great Harm? How DEI and Identity Politics Are Infecting American Healthcare – and How We Are Fighting Back.” It details how the medical profession, including medical schools in the U.S., continues to be overrun with woke DEI ideology. Goldfarb says that this is happening “at the expense of Americans’ health,” and he wrote the book because “the public deserves to hear these things.”

Supreme Court Upholds Tennessee Ban on Transgender Medical Procedures for Minors

,

The Supreme Court upheld the state of Tennessee’s ban on irreversible transgender procedures for minors, a major victory for parental rights advocates and those seeking to protect distressed children from harmful operations.

The justices ruled 6-3 in United States v. Skrmetti, with all of the conservative justices opting to allow Tennessee’s ban to remain in place and the liberal justices dissenting. The ruling will likely allow similar bans in more than 20 other red states to be upheld in the face of legal challenges.

As a girl misled by trans activists, I cheer the Supreme Court — and demand a national ban

America’s kids are safer today, thanks to the Supreme Court.

Specifically, they’re safer from the radical transgender ideology that endangers their developing minds and bodies.

As someone who was seduced by activist lies when I was just 12 years old, I’m glad the Court is putting kids first.

Thousands of kids will now be protected from disturbing treatments that ruin young lives.

On Wednesday, the Court upheld a Tennessee law that effectively banned so-called “gender-affirming care” for kids.

Trump administration turns up heat on hospitals with financial oversight of gender-affirming care

The Trump administration hit the “gender-affirming care” industry Wednesday with a one-two punch, launching financial oversight into pediatric gender clinics and pressuring them to stop treating minors with drugs and surgeries.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. directed clinics to review the department’s lengthy May 1 report, “Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria: Review of Evidence and Best Practices,” which found “weak evidence” to support the use of medical intervention for minors.

…

On the other side was Dr. Kurt Miceli, medical director of the advocacy group Do No Harm, which opposes gender-transition medical procedures for children.

“Health care providers should not rely on an organization that suppresses evidence and has pushed a political agenda when it comes to caring for children with gender dysphoria,” Dr. Miceli said in a Wednesday statement.

“For too long, vocal, activist doctors and medical associations have relied on WPATH guidance to inform treatment guidelines,” he said.

He said the HHS review “thoroughly highlighted the weak evidence WPATH used to justify so-called ‘gender-affirming care.’”

“In reality, sex-change procedures can cause devastating and often irreversible harms for the long-term development of minors – including infertility, surgical complications, cardiovascular disease, diminished bone density, and regret, to name a few,” Dr. Miceli said. “Children with gender dysphoria deserve evidence-based, high-quality care, not irreversible experimental interventions grounded in a political ideology.”

EXCLUSIVE: University of Kansas Might Be Circumventing Anti-DEI Law

A medical watchdog thinks the University of Kansas’ medical school is engaging in “zombie DEI” initiatives, even though diversity, equity, and inclusion projects are banned by state and federal law.

“Rebranding DEI as ‘health equity’ or other such terms is a clear effort to skirt state law in the name of woke ideology. Medical schools should drop their DEI agenda,” Do No Harm Chairman Dr. Stanley Goldfarb told The Daily Signal. “Instead, they should focus on merit as the basis for recruitment and admission decisions, and lawmakers should target schools that fail to comply with state laws.”

President Donald Trump has signed a number of executive orders banning diversity, equity, and inclusion discrimination in the federal workforce, in higher education accreditation, and in government-funded education.

The Spectator P.M. Ep. 141: Illinois Medical School Caught Using Affirmative Action

A Do No Harm analysis into the Southern Illinois School of Medicine admissions revealed that black and Hispanic students with lower average GPA and MCAT scores than white and Asian students are being accepted. These findings spark concern into the school’s admissions process, as the Supreme Court ruled against affirmative action in higher education two years ago.

In this episode of The Spectator P.M. Podcast, host Ellie Gardey Holmes and Lyrah Margo analyze the report and discuss the staggering difference in scores between the racial groups. Ellie and Lyrah criticize the continued presence of affirmative action in schools, noting how it does not provide any benefits for students and their education.

FTC may take legal action against doctors behind gender transitions for kids

Medical providers who encouraged gender transition drugs and procedures for minors may now face federal investigation.

The Federal Trade Commission is reportedly considering legal action against the doctors and medical providers behind the spike in gender transitions in recent years, according to a memo reported on by The Daily Wire.  

“Every available and legal means to protect children from harmful transgender procedures should be taken,” said Stanley Goldfarb, a medical doctor and Chairman of the medical advocacy group, Do No Harm. “The FTC is right to recognize that medical institutions captured by gender ideology are deceiving concerned parents into allowing their children to undergo these dangerous interventions. We applaud the FTC and the Trump Administration for taking this important step towards protecting children.”
