UCLA medical school course reportedly assigned students readings that pushed far-left views, including protesting fossil fuels and abolishing prisons and the police.
UCLA medical school pushes future doctors to become climate activists, leaked class assignments purport to show. First-year students are reportedly assigned readings in the required course, Structural Racism and Health Equity 'SRHE,' which pushes far-left views supporting protesting climate change and abolishing police and prisons. Copies of the documents were sent to medical transparency group Do No Harm and shared first with Fox News Digital.
This curriculum is laced through all four years of medical school,' the student told Fox News Digital. The student, who wished to remain anonymous, explained how the school had rapidly embraced 'antiracist' ideology during the COVID pandemic and after the George Floyd protests in the summer of 2020. Medical students in the course are asked to explore how race and the environment are intertwined through a list of assigned readings and activities, the documents show.
The course document also asks students to think about how oil drilling in Los Angeles disproportionately affects communities of color and the poor and how they can 'resist' drilling. 'Whose homes and communities become sacrifice zones? What becomes of them? How do we resist?' the document says. Various other options for the class were given as well, but every option appeared to support 'environmental justice' protests and activism without any opposing views presented.
would say there's not any room for pushback,' the student said. 'It's more framed as if this is the reality of medicine, or this is the reality of our society. And then the discussion is, what can we do about this? But it's not a discussion of whether the premise is anything other than objective facts.' Students who do speak up are 'singled out' by their classmates, the UCLA student claimed.
