Boston hospital to scale back on child abuse and neglect reports that can perpetuate ‘structural racism’

A Boston, Massachusetts, hospital announced Tuesday that after finding Black mothers were more likely to be reported for child abuse and neglect if a toxicology report came back positive, it would be taking steps to reevaluate the process in order to avoid perpetuating “structural racism.” 

“Black pregnant people are more likely to be drug tested and to be reported to child welfare systems than white pregnant people,” said Mass General Brigham, a nonprofit health care system. 

“As a part of our United Against Racism effort to achieve health equity for patients and communities across our system, we… are addressing policies that may unwittingly perpetuate structural racism,” Mass General stated.

Puberty blockers may NOT be reversible and could raise children’s risk of fertility problems and even cancer, Mayo Clinic study suggests 

Mayo Clinic experts say puberty blockers can lead to withering testicles, fertility problems and even cancer among the trans kids who take them, in the latest study to raise alarm about transgender medicine. The findings cast doubt on the ‘reversibility’ of puberty blockers — a key claim of the trans activists who promote the drugs, saying they only ‘pause’ puberty and […]

Minority Contracting Comes to Medicine

When public hospitals purchase medical equipment or rely on outside doctors, they typically consider the price and quality of each vendor.

In Tarrant County, Texas, they consider something else, too: the race and gender of the vendor’s owners.

Tarrant County’s public hospital system, JPS Health, evaluates bids for contracts on a 100-point scale that gives more weight to “diversity and inclusion” (15 points) than to the reputation of a vendor’s goods and services (10 points) when assessing providers of transcatheter heart valves—devices used to counteract cardiac failure and keep blood flowing throughout the body.

We Checked, And Don Lemon Told A Series Of Whoppers During The Elon Musk Interview

Ex-CNN host Don Lemon pushed a variety of inaccuracies and straight up falsehoods during his widely circulated March interview with tech billionaire Elon Musk.

Lemon cited unspecified “studies” or “evidence” at least 12 times during the hour-long interview, according to a Daily Caller review, specifically to support the liberal sacred cow of “Diversity Equity and Inclusion” (DEI) and the various initiatives that go along with the DEI belief system.

Lemon repeatedly insisted that there was “no evidence” medical schools and the airline industry were lowering their standards, DEI didn’t have negative effects and that diverse companies performed better. It turns out, Lemon appears to be inaccurate or incorrect on all these claims.

Detransitioner Chloe Cole warns Disney CEO Bob Iger that ‘lawsuits are coming’

Gender activist Chloe Cole warned Disney about upcoming lawsuits at its annual shareholder meeting on Wednesday.

She presented the “Gender-Based Compensation Gaps and Associated Risks” proposal that noted the Walt Disney Company’s medical benefits for employees cover gender dysphoria transitioning but does not provide medical care or insurance coverage for those who desire to “detransition.” Her proposal calls out the company’s “inequities” in compensation and benefits for employees across gender categories.

Cole posted a video of her comments on Wednesday at the Disney shareholder meeting discussing the proposal.

More Wokeness in Medicine

Last year, I wrote for the magazine about the “rampant politicization of health care.” Thanks to greater government involvement in medicine, the ties between academia and the practice of medicine, and other pressures (with George Floyd’s death serving as a special catalyst), medical-school curricula, professional medical associations, and other aspects of the field increasingly reflect and transmit left-wing ideology.

Disney Is About to Get Schooled at Its Shareholder Meeting

Disney will be slammed at Wednesday’s shareholder meeting over its pro-“transgender” employment practices.

Healthcare accountability group Do No Harm, which works to counteract DEI trends in medicine, and the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), an investor in The Walt Disney Company, will confront the multinational media corporation for allegedly discriminating against “de-transitioning” employees who are seeking reconstructive care in the aftermath of medical butchery.

“Disney pays for gender-transition treatments, but not de-transitioning care, and therefore, discriminates based on gender identity,” NLPC explains in a video released ahead of Disney’s annual meeting, where the conservative watchdog is set to submit a shareholder proposal demanding that the entertainment giant investigates its policies that allegedly exclude “de-transitioners.”

S2E12: Rep. Ron Bryce on Working to Ban Abusive Gender Transitions for Children

Kansas lawmaker and physician Rep. Ron Bryce shares a simple and powerful message: gender transitions for children are child abuse. He believes the procedures are unsafe, unproven, and unethical for kids—and he’s sponsoring a bill that would ban them for anyone under 18. Listen in via Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, or Amazon Music.

Duquesne University Opens New Osteopathic Medical School – But Puts DEI at the Forefront

On January 13, 2024, Duquesne University announced that it was opening a new osteopathic medical school on its Pittsburgh campus. Consistent with the trends seen in medical schools today, its website announced its support for “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” (DEI). But when a medical school like Duquesne endorses DEI, it is not endorsing the ordinary meanings of the individual words. Rather, it is laundering a radical ideology using the words “diversity, equity, and inclusion” as cover.

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

Does Disney care about more about the praise of transgender activists or the pain of its employees and their family, including children? 

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. If they get their way, the next battleground for the assault on science and common sense could be obstetrics. Historically, black race has been […]
