social justice trained could't identify major artery when asked, then berated the professor for putting her on the spot

“One professor said that a student in the operating room could not identify a major artery when asked, then berated the professor for putting her on the spot.

"1/3 to 1/2 of the medical school is incredibly unqualified," one prof said. The collapse in qualifications has been compounded by UCLA's decision, in 2020, to condense its preclinical curriculum from two years to one in order to add time for research and community service.

That means students arrive at their clinical rotations with just a year of courses under their belt—some of which focus less on science than social justice.First-year students spend three to four hours every other week in "Structural Racism and Health Equity," a required class that covers topics like "fatphobia," has featured anti-Semitic speakers"

Therein lies the problem with affirmative action. If a patient has to think “is my physician qualified, or was he admitted due to melanin content,” then the patient will select another provider. Won’t work out for the physician with student loans, and it won’t work for the patient who passes on a minority doctor that could be immensely qualified but discredited due to the ills of affirmative action admissions.

The social justice training emphasis at UCLA leads to these kinds of absurdities too.

EXCLUSIVE: Health Centers At Seattle Public Schools Offer 'Gender-Affirming' Hormone Therapy To Children

The Seattle-based provider is at the forefront of what some call the "school-to-clinic pipeline"

A healthcare organization that operates clinics inside Seattle public schools says it can now offer "gender-affirming" hormone treatment to children, emails from a health center program manager reveal.

Emails obtained by The Daily Wire reveal that Neighborcare Health, a healthcare organization that runs clinics in middle and elementary schools in the Seattle Public Schools district, announced in January 2023 that hormone treatments were now included in the "gender-affirming care" it could offer.

"The Neighborcare Health team wanted to share an exciting new update to our School-based Health Center services," the email from a Program Manager for Neighborcare Health, which was obtained by Parents Defending Education through a public records request, reads. "Our program will begin offering comprehensive, evidence-based, gender-affirming care services to our students and families who need them."

The change meant that the group could now give hormone treatments to children, it explained. "While our School-based Health Centers have long offered a continuum of gender-affirming care services including supportive student counseling, promotion of social identity, and health education, this step will allow us to begin offering families access to important medical interventions including hormone treatments," it states.

The offerings mark one of the boldest efforts to create what Manhattan Institute Fellow Leor Sapir has dubbed the "school-to-clinic pipeline" whereby young school children are encouraged to undergo irreversible medical interventions that seek to change their sex.
