Professor Jacobson and Legal Insurrection Senior Contributing Editor Kemberlee Kaye recently wrote an op-ed for the New York Post about the expansion of Critical Race Theory in veterinary medical schools.
It sounds absurd, but this is really happening.
Professor Jacobson recently discussed the issue with Stuart Varney of the FOX Business Network.
From FOX News:
Critical race theory taught at America’s top veterinary schools, new study findsEight of America’s top 11 veterinary schools have implemented controversial critical race theory (CRT) or Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) related curricula or training, according to a new study.”If veterinary schools think they are advancing racial justice by embedding racial group identity politics into training, they are barking up the wrong tree,” CriticalRace.org founder William A. Jacobson told Fox News Digital.CriticalRace.org, which monitors critical race theory (CRT) curricula and training in higher education, has expanded its database to veterinary schools. The findings included that four of the schools have mandatory training or curriculum for students, eight have some sort of mandatory faculty and staff training, and six have incorporated DEI training into their search and hiring processes.”Nothing shocks us anymore about the push to inject CRT/DEI into education, but we didn’t expect that it would be so aggressive in veterinary schools,” Jacobson continued. “The ideological capture of top veterinary schools demonstrates that CRT/DEI is not about pet care, it’s about controlling people with ideology. It’s not like the patients are howling for their doctors to be social justice warriors.”Jacobson, Clinical Professor of Law at Cornell Law School and founder of the Legal Insurrection website, believes there has been a concerted effort to push women, along with racial and ethnic minorities, into the veterinary profession.”In 2005, when the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) formally announced its “DiVersity Matters” initiative, aimed at increasing enrollment of non-white vet students. Thereafter in 2020, the American Veterinary Medical Association announced a partnership with the AACVM to form the Commission for a Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive Veterinary Profession,” CriticalRace.org wrote in a summary of the study.

It just goes to show the lengths the left is willing to go to embed their ideology into virtually every academic discipline.
