🚨 NEW REPORT: Medical schools are no longer just training doctors—they're training activists. From mandatory DEI statements to gender ideology and microaggression tracking, students are being forced to conform—or risk their careers.

Medical schools are still using race in admissions, even after the Supreme Court banned it. @donoharm’s FOIA data shows huge MCAT score gaps by race. Not only is racial discrimination unfair, it’s illegal. wsj.com/opinion/medica…
“Hiring conservative professors would discourage curiosity.” This is what passes for intellectual reasoning at the New York Times. Viewpoint diversity is essential to a healthy academic culture. Without it, free thought and curiosity wither. nytimes.com/2025/07/10/opi…
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…

Instead of removing DEI policies, the College of William and Mary simply renamed the center and changed a senior administrator’s title. Universities will do whatever possible to keep these policies alive and well on campus. flathatnews.com/2025/07/15/col…
Medical schools are no longer just training doctors—they're training activists. These schools are implementing radical DEI policies, and students are forced to comply—or risk jeopardizing their careers. Here’s what a radical DEI education looks like at 54 medical schools…

“The universities have brazenly, deliberately, and repeatedly violated their compact with the American people. They have engaged in a long train of abuses, evasions, and usurpations, which, with every turn of the ratchet, have moved our society toward a new kind of tyranny—one in…

Of the 54 medical schools we investigated, 30% of them mandated commitments to “weight inclusivity”. Shouldn’t future doctors prioritize health? DEI is infiltrating our medical schools. Check out our report for more: speechfirst.org/wp-content/upl…

Our latest report reveals how DEI has infiltrated not only undergraduate programs but also medical schools. When education takes a backseat to DEI policies, patients suffer the most. amgreatness.com/2025/07/16/div…
College administrators have embedded DEI programs into higher education for decades. Advocates have deeply entrenched these initiatives, and they will resist any efforts to dismantle them.
🚨SCOOP: Leaked recordings from Belmont University in Red State Tennessee show that school officials are trying to trick the Trump administration by simply renaming their DEI program to HUB (Hope, Unity, and Belonging) while changing nothing. In the recordings, assistant…
A new @ManhattanInst poll found that only 15 percent of voters have a great deal of trust in elite universities. Higher education is losing public trust due to its focus on DEI policies over educating the next generation of leaders. thecollegefix.com/americans-trus…
ICYMI from @BenjaminRothove: An Ivy League professor recently wrote in The New York Times that “hiring conservative professors would discourage curiosity.” What she fails to recognize is that higher education needs viewpoint diversity now more than ever.…

Public university boards are appointed by the Governor to provide fiduciary oversight of the school. They serve the Commonwealth - NOT the faculty.
The UVA Faculty Senate will be voting today on a formal resolution of no confidence in the leadership of the Board of Visitors. What began as a censure effort has escalated dramatically. Professor Brian Pusser helped frame the shift: “We want to know what happened that led to…
🚨 The Trump admin has launched a Title VI investigation into George Mason University for alleged racial discrimination in hiring and promotions. Racial discrimination violates federal civil rights—period. Equal treatment must be non-negotiable. washingtonexaminer.com/news/3468432/t…

🚨@WrightState has closed its DEI office after Ohio lawmakers passed anti-DEI legislation. While this marks progress, colleges have actively embedded these ideas into their systems for years, and they likely still shape campus life behind the scenes. campusreform.org/article/wright…
🚨DEI is entrenched in the hiring process at many universities, and candidates are selected based on immutable characteristics over qualifications. When DEI is prioritized over meritocracy, higher education suffers. city-journal.org/article/univer…
UW-Madison claims it's shutting down its DEI division—while relocating the same programs and staff under new offices. Rebranding won’t fix it. Discrimination is corrosive to campus culture and does nothing to support student success.
UW-Madison Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin to close DEI division, move programming elsewhere jsonline.com/story/news/pol…
🚨@michiganstateu quietly scrubbed DEI language from its website—without announcing any real changes. Colleges have long embedded DEI into their systems, which means these policies may still be in effect behind the scenes. statenews.com/article/2025/0…
