Critical race theory has arrived at medical schools. What could go wrong?

I previously wrote about my hour-long interview on Tucker Carlson Today, the most intense interview I’ve ever done, “Sir, your presentation was far and away the best Tucker has aired to date”.

That post has a couple of excerpts from the transcript, including Tucker’s kind opening:

Tucker: Welcome to Tucker Carlson Today. One of the saddest developments in the past 20 years is watching the total destruction of American journalism. Journalism is protected explicitly by the First Amendment for a reason. It’s what keeps our system at least theoretically free, open and fair. And it’s pretty much dead. It’s now an instrument of one of the two political parties. But the good news is that real journalism has emerged in its place to fill that vacuum, and it’s being practiced by people who aren’t strictly speaking journalists.And one of the best journalists of our time is about as far from a trained journalist as you can get. He’s a law professor at an Ivy League school. His name is Bill Jacobson. He runs Legal Insurrection, and he has been one of the people covering the woke destruction of education for the rest of us.Bill Jacobson, we’re really glad to have you…. A frequent guest on our nighttime show. Thank you so much. So I’ve been wanting to ask you this since you first started coming on. Like how did you get into [this] what is your life trajectory? I have a feel you’re not doing now what you expected to be doing withWAJ: No part of my life has been planned. No part has been a clear trajectory…

A promo was supposed to run several weeks ago, but was bumped and then bumped again and then bumped again by the Trump indictment circus news cycles.

Finally, the promo dropped today:

It’s still unclear whether it will be promoted on the nightly show — My segment promo may have fallen into the Trump news cycle abyss.

The medical school issue, and our CriticalRace.org project, was just a small piece of the longer interview, which covered:

• My days at Harvard Law School witnessing the birth of Critical Legal Theory and the foundations of Critical Race Theory
• my career as a plaintiff’s contingency fee lawyer
• the illness that forced me out of law practice and into Cornell Law School
• the founding of Legal Insurrection, how my early writings about Obama have been vindicated
• the work Legal Insurrection has done on Elizabeth Warren and Gibson’s Bakery
• the decade-long harassment I endured at Cornell as a result of speaking out
• the attempt to “cancel” me in June 2020 and the betrayal by work friends,
• Our CriticalRace.org and EqualProtect.org projects
• and more

The interview now streaming on Fox Nation. A Fox Nation subscription is needed to view the show, but they offer a free trial subscription so you can watch my segment at no cost.
