Amanda Seales Instagram – “@yourrightscamp Representatives Greg Murphy and Brad Wenstrup introduced the EDUCATE Act in Washington to ban federal funding for U.S. medical schools that engage in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices, targeting race-based mandates and DEI pledges. Murphy, with extensive surgical experience, criticized the politicization of medical education and tools. Stanley Goldfarb, chairman of Do No Harm, supported the bill’s aim, stating that the focus on politics over medical training compromises patient care, with the bill’s future bipartisan support and Senate sponsorship still uncertain.
The proposed EDUCATE Act, backed by Republican lawmakers in Washington, D.C., represents a departure from justice, equity, and inclusion principles within medical education. Framed as an effort to safeguard against politicization and ensure unbiased curricula, this bill instead threatens to undermine efforts to address systemic inequities and promote diversity in medical schools. ”
