UCLA Medical School Abruptly Cancels Lecture Blaming ‘Whiteness’ for Opioid Crisis

The University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) medical school recently scheduled a lecture focused on the role “whiteness” played in driving the opioid crisis — but abruptly changed the topic of the lecture just two days before it was supposed to take place and limited attendance to in-person only.

Last week, UCLA health advertised an event with professor Dr. Helena Hansen titled, “Beyond Magic Bullets: Whiteness as a Structural Driver of the Opioid Crisis.” The Gold Humanism Honor Society sponsored the lecture, according to a poster obtained by National Review. The event was scheduled for April 4, in-person in the school’s Tamkin auditorium, with an option for Zoom attendance.

Disney won’t help the detransitioners its transgender activism encouraged to go under the knife

The answer will become clear at the company’s April 3 annual meeting, when shareholders vote on a proposal my organization filed.

We’re asking the company, which has famously associated itself with the gender-ideology movement, to stop ignoring the significant medical needs of those who’ve tried to reverse their sex transitions.

Dangerous Quackery

Radical activists are so determined to enshrine the idea that race is a social construct with no biological relevance that they are willing to endanger patient care to make their case.

After More Than a Year, the UConn School of Medicine Shares its DICE Inventory: “Things Are in Pieces”

It took 14 months to obtain the information, but the University of Connecticut School of Medicine (UConn) finally provided Do No Harm with the Diversity, Inclusion, Culture, and Equity (DICE) Inventory document it submitted to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) back in 2021.

In December 2022, we began reporting on the DICE Inventory results of other public medical schools across the country, which we received via freedom of information requests. The FOIA requests were made in response to AAMC’s November 2022 report showing that the vast majority of medical schools have embraced identity politics, despite their divisive and even discriminatory nature. We asked for a copy of UConn’s survey response so that Connecticut taxpayers and policymakers could learn the truth about this institution.
