University of Michigan Medical School Goes Woke | City Journal
At the University of Michigan, critical race theory has invaded yet another discipline: medicine. In January 2021, Michigan Medicine s Anti-Racism Oversight Committee Action Plan called for designing a new curriculum, one that would use an intersectional framework and incorporate critical race theory.
The story is a microcosm of a nationwide trend that has not spared medicine. In the summer of 2020, senior administrators at Michigan Medicine, like many of their colleagues around the country, called for large-scale change. On June 1, five deans and vice presidents published a letter decrying health disparities, declaring: We must reject and prevent this manifest . . . injustice. A few days later, the executive vice president for medical affairs expressed the same urgency in a letter titled The Time is Now.
Bad idea.
