In a recent classroom lecture at UCLA’s medical school, students were taught about “white science” by a controversial lecturer. The lecture was part of a course on structural racism and health equity. This is a concerning trend in education, where leftist ideologies are prioritized over actual science.

The speaker, Lisa “Tiny” Gray-Garcia, criticized modern medicine as “white science” and led students in chants of “Free, Free Palestine.” This kind of anti-science rhetoric has no place in a medical curriculum. It is important for students to learn about medicine based on facts and evidence, not political agendas.
Lisa’s anti-capitalist and anti-Israel views were also on display during the lecture. Her radical beliefs have no place in a classroom setting, especially one that is supposed to be focused on training future doctors. It is worrisome that universities are allowing such extreme viewpoints to be promoted to students.
The fact that a UCLA administrator questioned a student who remained seated during the lecture is also concerning. It shows a lack of respect for differing opinions and a disregard for academic freedom. Students should feel comfortable expressing their beliefs without fear of retribution.
This incident highlights the importance of maintaining academic integrity and promoting a balanced learning environment. It is crucial that universities prioritize teaching actual science over pushing political agendas. Education should be about expanding knowledge and critical thinking, not indoctrination.
