[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I don't get it.

Can we study menopause? That only affects women. So is that DEI? Can we study women's recovery from birth? Can we study postpartum depression?

Can we study the fact that physicians underestimate pain perception in Black patients? Or do we have to just ignore that?

Can we train people that depression symptoms often show up as physical complaints in East Asian populations? Or do we have to not tell our trainees that?

Even if the left, or even NIH, went to far with DEI, the idea that we can't study/train these things AT ALL is outrageous. If you're a conservative, you have to know that this is a really stupid overcorrection. [/quote]

This new policy is awful and outrageous. It's a snowflake level overcorrection and will hurt women - especially women's health research - as well as minorities. Also, students and professors should be free to research what they want and if it's a compelling topic (that includes the word gender or mentions a minority group) it should be able to compete for funding.

I hate what Trump has been doing and continues to do to our country. I didn't vote for him and am proud of that. I hope others who may have been swayed by him have now looked at what he's doing to our economy and votes him out.
