Today, if my "new" doctor got his degree after 2020, I will not accept that doctor.
If, they are black, or a woman,
If its a white guy, then you know he got there on merit.
I felt the exact opposite in the 70's. A lot of the white docs left something to be desired, all of the black or lady docs were great. They had to be, just like white guys have to be now. If that kind of token racism was bad then, its bad now.
Unfortunately all new doctors are brainwashed by the medical cartel who write the curriculum … even white doctors. Unless they have pursued real health care independently from the cartel, I wouldn’t trust one of them. In my opinion they are all pharma representatives who prescribe a pill for every ill.
My son, an Eagle Scout, has finished his undergrad in 3 years, will take a year off to work the trenches (CNA, working in a med field is a "requirement" for med school) and then off to med school. My wife and I have been nurses for 40 years.
I am optimistic. Humans really are good at fixing slow moving disasters, and the leftists and democrats are slow moving disasters.
This started way before 2020. One rule of thumb is don't see any doctor under the age of 40 (the bar going up as the years progress, soon the only doctors you can trust will be retirement age). As Linda A also pointed out, even the non-DEI med students/hires are indoctrinated. One thing though, if a white or Asian man is your doctor, even a young one, you can be pretty certain he was the cream of the crop to get a space at all.
My experience also but there are still some of both sexes and all colors who get there on merit, as long as they play the game and babble incoherently. I can't imagine how hard it is to have brains and want to go to medical school to help people, but to have to lower oneself to get in and get through school.
my son has that dilemma (he is wicked smart, sometimes I wonder who is daddy is) I told him he has to be the best, or claim his Armenian Italian ancestry on a form.
I have been a nurse for 40 years, I have seen all degrees of MD talent.
Here is a fun fact, the 3rd leading cause of death in the USA is going to the hospital. Not because you were sick and dying, but because the way things are ruined now (I blame JACHO and corporate greed for many of the problems). Its medical error killing all those folks.
And apparently, the democrats want more death. It's almost like they feel there are to many people on the planet,
Tell him to vaccinate himself against evil and stupidity, and then babble whatever he has to say to get in to medical school. Keep his head low, mouth shut and just head bob along with the lunatics. I believe those in a trance will eventually wake up and grovel for forgiveness, then your son can shed the cloak.
preaching to the choir. He knows how rabid the leftist vermin are.
My son also has "plot armor", his high school sweetheart, and man, she is smart and gorgeous, is black, and they have maintained their relationship in two different states, for 4 years. If they get married and have kids, they will be smart and beautiful.
I have been vocal for the past 20 years, I retired last year,. now the vermin cannot harm me.
My husband and I are both retired (USN) and on pensions. I can also say whatever I want to say without repercussions. I try and be a voice for those still in the workplace. I wish for you she becomes your daughter-in-law. Our middle daughter and her fiancé have been together about 7 years, and we are finally gaining a son-in-law this fall! Hopefully, baby to follow.
However, a Navy pension can be taken away by a rabid democrat government,
see also Canadian banks work with nazi government to block funds for truckers in Canada protest.
Granted, my bank might possibly do that (I doubt it, my bank does not disarm victims that walk in the door, IE , there are zero no gun signs) but that is why I have a little cash sitting around.
I no longer do business with any blacks in general now! Whether it’s a doctor, lawyer, or plumber! I noticed ALL too many times they deliberately sabotage whatever work they’re doing for you if you’re white!! My money can spend anywhere
WTF? I have and use a process to qualify all providers. If I followed your process I'd have missed my favorite anesthesiologist, a great friend and dentist, a first-rate cardiac NP and others.
How to avoid leftist vermin, and keeping their mouths shut about facts, I suspect.
You are correct, any person in college that is not in a hard science is just creating debt, for no value, that the leftist vermin government will exploit.
See also democrat rodents using our tax money to pay off the debt of rich democrat students with useless degrees.
Kudos for being a good teacher, that pushes education.
The Weapons Shop of Ishar are another good series.
"“When a people lose the courage to resist encroachment on their rights, then they can't be saved by an outside force. Our belief is that people always have the kind of government they want and that individuals must bear the risks of freedom, even to the extent of giving their lives."
Pat Orsban, black doctors were not competent in the 70s! They were affirmative action students who did not pass exams because they didn't have to take them in the first place. Affirmative action has been around since the 60s and has destroyed everything.
This is a really tragic aspect/outcome of the adoption of Race Marxism as ruling class ideology. I have a great doc who is a black man around age 70 or so, but I would think twice before hiring any professional from any of our many protected classes under age 35 or so.
There is the merit aspect first and foremost, as there's no way to know if any of our regime's sacred cows received their position from excellence or because of politics, but there's also the ideological aspect too, as there's also no way to know how much antiracism (race hate disguised as its opposite) any member of a "minoritized group" has bought into and believes.
Race Marxism has turned out to be quite the poisoned chalice.
tragically true. The Daily Wire has exposed many leftist vermin in our medical schools, who brag about harming white people, have not been expelled, or even disciplined, for that racism.
As an alum of UVA, we had to write “I will not lie, cheat, or steal” on every piece of work we did and submitted. The most minor infraction would subject a student to expulsion. And yet these DEI fraudsters can get away with entire passages of dissertations that are stolen from others. Truly pathetic and disgusting
Me too. The UVA Honor Code meant something when I attended both undergraduate and later (after military service) medical school. Sad to see such a disrespect by UVA’s “leaders.” Such leaders must be “expelled” forthwith. The UVA Honor Code is valuable.
Any college or university that has a DEI department, DEI officers or teaches anything similar to DEI should receive no public funding. Any administrator involved in DEI or establishing DEI on any campus should be banned from any employment in the educational sector. The cost of any ‘student loan forgiveness’ should be paid out of a tax placed on school endowments.
Oh, that pesky Fourteenth Amendment. Don’t worry, we haven’t bothered with that silly thing for a couple of generations now. Equality just gets in the way of fixing racism you know.
My guess is that what’s next is some form of revisionism — a rewriting of longstanding rules & standards around academic integrity to excuse these sorts of improprieties, both going forward & retroactively upon past misdeeds.
Counting down the days until we see the first op-ed’s, podcasts, and ‘thinkpieces’ about how ‘citing your sources is racist, sexist, ableist’ and everything else in between.
"Counting down the days until we see the first op-ed’s, podcasts, and ‘thinkpieces’ about how ‘citing your sources is racist, sexist, ableist’ and everything else in between."
… if the selfsame DEI departments & the administrators and donors beset by their morally & intellectually debilitating white-guilt at these offending institutions haven’t begun to lead that revisionist charge already.
You would think the left would be examining the work of conservative academics (is there such a thing?) to expose similar transgressions. The silence speaks loudly.
My thesis was just accepted. I was required to go through my citations with a fine comb to prevent even accidental plagiarism. I am spitting mad right now as I read this.
Great piece of investigative journalism. It raises a question (for me anyway)........how can these people be suitably brought to account for:
* their gall and presumption in thinking they have any rightful place in an institution of 'higher learning.'
* their wilful aquisition and nurture of ignorance at the taxpayers expense
* their passive-aggressive spite and bile towards their fellow man thinly dressed up as virtue.
It may seem very non-pc but one can't help feeling that some kind of retribution (punishment even) - something akin to the stocks of former times - is what the kind of academia wokerati behavior (the kind highlighted in the first paragraph of this post) richly deserves....I wish I knew how it could be brought about but I've no idea.
How shocking that a grievance studies major (steeped in postmodernist assumptions about reality being a shared delusion and truth being subjective) wouldn't see a problem with falsifying her own research. If truth is nonexistent and logic is a tool of the cis-normative, white patriarchy, plagiarism is just applied anticolonialism.
Richard Weaver was right. Ideas have consequences.
Thank you for pursuing this important, joyless work on behalf of those of us who could not stomach reading such dreck.
Really don't understand why such dreck is written in the first place. How about some good old-fashioned GOLDEN RULES for enforcement?
In a fraudlent discipline, are we surprised by deeper fraud?
Mmmmmm.
DEI
Didn't Earn It.
In the old days, the label was diversity hire.
Today, if my "new" doctor got his degree after 2020, I will not accept that doctor.

I am hopeful with the newest generation,.

yep, almost the reverse of years ago,
circling around to maintain racism is the democrat promise

WOOHOO, viva la evolution.
You'd better hope your son does not marry that woman. You and he will be eternally sorry!

Congrats, he must have graduated before the destruction of our education system.
Probably
I have noticed that the mexican illegals that get hired around here, are mostly damn hard working.
If you want to know, just ask any blacks that you might hire, if they are repub or conservative.
Only democrat and leftist blacks ( and whites, for that matter) are rabid vermin.
I haven’t had that experience at all. I urge you to rethink your position.
Not sure I would feel confident in the white guys with education the way it is. What are they really learning?

I an appalled at how crummy docs are now. Appalled. And women 40 years old and younger are the worst. But no group is exempt right now.

wait, one was put on leave??? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10727523/Woke-student-bragged-injuring-patient-mocked-pronoun-pin-extended-leave.html so yea, avoid any democrat vermin that have graduated since 2016.
I will start asking if my provider is repub or democrat.
Maybe instead of using term “academic dishonesty”, we call them academic liars.

Ours was “ I will not lie, cheat or steal or tolerate those who do.”

I’m an Abolitionist. Just like the authors of the 14A. Abolish DEI !!!
Now? What is next? Are the degrees retracted? Does she get fired? Does the DA prosecute her fraud?
Or does she get a new job?
My guess is that what’s next is some form of revisionism — a rewriting of longstanding rules & standards around academic integrity to excuse these sorts of improprieties, both going forward & retroactively upon past misdeeds.

if u work at any educational or cultural institution in America (if not the entire Anglosphere), you have to know which way the wind blows.
Either support/join the Permanent Revolution for Justice and Equality or find a new job...there is no 3rd choice
It’s inevitable…..Citations is racist.
think of a very large rug and and a very large broom...this will be brushed out of sight.
Black, female, plagiarist, able to spout academic and DEI gibberish on command. Should be on the short list for president of Harvard.
Thanks for exposing these frauds. Fire her ass
Can't, that's racist, haven't you heard?
No, no, only demoted to another made-up job.
You would think the left would be examining the work of conservative academics (is there such a thing?) to expose similar transgressions. The silence speaks loudly.
Wow is right. She obviously did not attend my high school. We were terrified of plagiarism as well as the forbidden comma splice.
Oh my, the dreaded command splice. My teachers tried to get that through our heads, too!
My thesis was just accepted. I was required to go through my citations with a fine comb to prevent even accidental plagiarism. I am spitting mad right now as I read this.
Yes; you should be vexed at this nonsense; in fact, everyone should be.
Easily grounds to expel any undergraduate.
This makes all those old "zero tolerance for plagiarism" threats laughable in retrospect.
