Staff ReportsAmerica’s medical schools today face a crossroads. They can either stay committed to excellence or continue their descent into the madness of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideology. Patients need doctors who are knowledgeable and capable, not those picked through race quotas and hollow political correctness. Yet, our top institutions are bent on putting ideology above education. Should we be surprised when a Harvard hallway prioritizes spectacle over substance?
Across the nation, DEI has infiltrated medical schools, a poison spreading where science and skill should rule. How absurd is it that the profession tasked with saving lives is sinking into this swamp of wokeness? These schools argue that lowering standards for minorities will yield fairness. But fairness for whom? Not for patients who deserve doctors chosen on merit. We have a duty to demand excellence, not bow to the altar of identity politics.
DEI fever has gripped America’s medical landscape with relentless intensity. In an effort to appear “equitable,” many schools have ditched the MCAT, once a steadfast gatekeeper of talent and ability. What’s the outcome of this woke agenda? A looming disaster as unprepared practitioners head into our hospitals and clinics. Yet, left-wing educators continue to cheerlead this ideological tsunami, insisting it’s revolutionizing medicine. The question is, do we need our doctors to be activists or experts in saving lives?

Some medical professionals have taken a stand, recognizing the threat DEI poses to American healthcare. Their message is simple: stop sacrificing patient care on the altar of wokeness. Doctors should be learning about anatomy, physiology, and how to save lives—not enduring endless workshops on bias and race relations. The implications of this ideological indoctrination are frightening. As the population ages, do we trust our healthcare to those who’ve spent more hours on social justice than on surgery?
Progressive policies have failed our nation time and again. Why should we believe DEI will fare any differently? Perhaps it’s time we asked ourselves if this ideological crusade is worth the risk to patient safety. As wokeness infects yet another vital institution, America must choose. Do we submit to this chaos, or do we demand medical schools return to a focus on skill and merit? The survival of dependable healthcare may well depend on our answer.
