UCLA Lawsuit Exposes Dangers of Affirmative Action Policies
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 20 hours ago
A recent federal class-action lawsuit is challenging the racial discrimination practices at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Medical School, spotlighting the negative impact of affirmative action on merit-based admissions.
Filed by the activist group Do No Harm, alongside Students for Fair Admissions and individual plaintiffs, the lawsuit alleges that UCLA is purposely discriminating against applicants based on race and ethnicity, in direct violation of both California law and a landmark Supreme Court ruling that prohibited such practices.
The evidence presented includes alarming whistleblower accounts, revealing that UCLA's admissions committee routinely discusses race as a key factor in their selection process, overshadowing academic achievements and qualifications.
Documents have emerged alleging that the associate dean for admissions mandates that applicants disclose their race and that faculty members are more focused on diversifying the student body than on maintaining high standards of academic competence.
This shift in priorities has resulted in a significant decline in the quality of education, with reports indicating that nearly half of UCLA's medical students fail basic competency tests, an astonishing increase that comes after years of implementing a diversity-first approach in admissions.
Once ranked as one of the nation's top medical schools, UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine has plummeted in rankings following the appointment of a new admissions dean, who has prioritized diversity over merit.
Furthermore, the curriculum at the medical school has raised eyebrows, incorporating mandatory classes centered around "structural racism" and political ideologies instead of core medical training.
Critics argue that these developments illustrate a broader trend in academia, where increasingly radical ideas overshadow traditional values and competencies. Parents and prospective students alike should be deeply concerned about a system that prioritizes diversity over the basic qualifications necessary to practice medicine safely and effectively.
As UCLA faces scrutiny, this lawsuit serves as a wake-up call to institutions across the country to reassess their admissions policies and to eliminate the biases that undermine true meritocracy in education.
It’s time to return to a system that rewards talent and hard work rather than one that prioritizes skin color over skills. The future of education—and ultimately, public health—depends on it.
