UNCOVERED: New Video Reveals the Truth About DEI in Schools

August 18, 2024

The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, one of the most prestigious medical schools in the United States, is known for producing top-tier doctors. But did you know that alongside traditional courses like anatomy and physiology, students are now required to take a class on “Structural Racism and Health Equity?” As an exclusive new Goldwater Institute video reveals, it’s all part of the rise of DEI—Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion—within the education system, from med schools to elementary classrooms.

DEI initiatives are supposed to promote fair treatment and full participation for everyone, but in reality, DEI goes against everything our constitutional republic stands for. It teaches that there are two categories of people, “oppressor” and “oppressed,” and that public institutions must atone for “systemic racism” by treating people differently depending on their skin color. Schools that adopt DEI initiatives, meanwhile, are eliminating honors and gifted programs, and even standardized tests, because “hard work” and “achievement” are seen as linked to “structural inequities.”

But the Goldwater Institute is spearheading the nationwide campaign to dismantle DEI, one state at a time—and we’re winning. In fact, we’ve already ended discriminatory practices in higher education in more than 10 states—including the nation’s most powerful reform to completely defeat DEI in Texas.

In Goldwater’s new video, we dive into the key concepts behind DEI, how it’s shaping K-12 and college curricula, and its broader implications on meritocracy, fairness, and the American Dream. Are these initiatives promoting true inclusivity, or are they creating new forms of division and discrimination?

Join us as we unpack these controversial topics and examine the impact of DEI on education, the workforce, and society at large.
