Speech First

Of the top 54 public medical schools we investigated, here's what we found: ❌ 99% push racial ideology ❌ 89% enforce gender affirmation ❌ 30% mandate “weight inclusivity” We need trained physicians, not radical activists. speechfirst.org/wp-content/upl…

As DEI mandates expand in medical education, core instruction in subjects like genetics and epidemiology declines. As ideology displaces rigor, students are less prepared and patients are put at risk. That tradeoff is unacceptable.wsj.com/opinion/a-welc…

Hospitals across the country are prioritizing DEI policies over patient care. When medical schools focus on indoctrination over education, our healthcare system becomes overwhelmed with these biased providers. dailywire.com/news/draft

.@UMiamiHealth is not alone in prioritizing DEI policies over patient care. Our report on DEI in medical school found that 99% of the 54 medical schools we investigated push racial ideology.

A pro-Israel student group at Catholic University tried to host speakers about antisemitism. The university said the event needed “balance.” Apparently, opposing antisemitism now requires inviting someone to argue the other side.

Our medical school report isn’t isolated. @DefendingEd identified 350 colleges and 500 social work programs, with over half embedding anti-racism and DEI into required competencies. Gatekeeping isn’t accidental. It’s structural. defendinged.org/investigations…

Our medical school report documents the same pattern. When professional programs prioritize ideological alignment over merit and clinical skill, patient care is compromised: speechfirst.org/wp-content/upl…

In counseling, social work, and nursing programs, students are evaluated on “dispositions” and ideological alignment. Students who question those doctrines can face remediation or dismissal. Academic freedom cannot survive under those conditions. city-journal.org/article/derald…

Instead of defending the First Amendment and free speech on campus, @UCLA canceled @bariweiss’ talk and bowed to mob pressure. Shouting down a speaker is textbook heckler's veto.

If silence is safest and honesty is penalized, campuses are no longer places of debate. They’re training grounds for self-censorship.

Happy Presidents Day! May we always remember the words of our first president, George Washington: "If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter."

This concern isn’t theoretical. We’ve documented how medical schools nationwide mandate ideological commitments that sideline merit and discourage dissent: speechfirst.org/wp-content/upl…

When medical schools prioritize ideology over merit, everyone pays the price. Future physicians should be trained in science and rigor, not compelled to conform to political litmus tests.

This is what happens when medical schools prioritize ideology over medicine. Our Critical Condition report found nearly every US medical school now mandates DEI and gender ideology, silencing dissent and rewarding activism over competence. VCU isn't an outlier. It’s the norm.
