The medical profession succumbed with surprising rapidity to the “woke” agenda of putting racial characteristics ahead of ability. In student admissions, faculty hiring and firing, and other aspects of medical education, “diversity” was the primary consideration.

Now, some universities are finding themselves in legal trouble over those policies. In today’s Martin Center article, Mike Markham writes about the lawsuit Do No Harm has filed against Duke Health Systems.

Among the items in the complaint:

Duke also terminated the employment of emergency-room physician Dr. Kendall Conger in 2024 after tiring of his repeated attempts to get his employer to explain its ominous claim that racism was a ‘public-health crisis,’ a statement inconsistent with Conger’s professional experience and one that Duke admitted it could not prove with clinical evidence — one of the benchmarks of medicine.

Obviously, a medical school can’t have a doctor asking inconvenient questions about a left-wing article of faith!

Will Duke choose to spend vast amounts defending its commitment to “woke” ideology? It wouldn’t seem to be the school’s best move.
