Doctor Claims Duke University Fired Him for Criticizing ‘Pledge to Left-wing Ideology’
“disagreed with the notion that racism is a public health crisis”
This is what DEI policies are really for. Getting rid of people who are not ideologically aligned with the left.

Doctor who says Duke University fired him for criticizing ‘pledge to left-wing ideology’ speaks out
A prominent emergency room physician says he was fired from Duke University’s health system after speaking out against its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) push.
Dr. Kendall Conger had worked at Duke Raleigh Hospital for roughly a decade when the prestigious university released a 2021 pledge against racism. Duke Health called racism a “public health crisis,” and declared it was dedicated “to overcoming the painful separations that divide us.” Conger felt the pledge was “somewhat radical,” and decided to speak out.
“It wasn’t so much a pledge to better medicine, but a pledge to left-wing ideology. And so, I felt if I did not say anything, I was giving tacit approval to what was in the pledge,” Conger told Fox News Digital.
Conger, who said that he feels DEI stands for “didn’t earn it,” disagreed with the notion that racism is a public health crisis, particularly because the pledge claimed it was “guided by science.”
“I thought that was odd. It wasn’t something I’d recognized. I didn’t know where they were getting that data from. I looked a little bit and couldn’t find it, but I decided, well, they’re the ones who made this statement. Let them defend it,” he said.
Conger said he asked Duke Health for the data used to back up the statement, but the university failed to provide clinical or medical data. Instead, the school offered social science data.
“I thought to myself, ‘Social science data?’ I have social science data, but we’re a clinical institution and you guys made what seemed to be a clinical statement,’ and they said, ‘Well, maybe we could have worded that better,’ but they didn’t change anything or let anybody know,’” Conger said.

How dare you question our lies????????
the left grows stronger
lawsuits dont me sh to them
that money comes from taxpayers and/or donors >>>who get a lot of their money from taxpayers
DEI can get you killed. The day after his 2nd inauguration President Trump should announce a DOJ investigation of all healthcare facilities.
And most of it should be contracted out to local law firms so the DC careerists cannot just go through the motions and find nothing.
Good time for a lawsuit…hopefully he has them admitting to poor wording in documentation.
DEI/CRT is massive legal liability. They deserve to be sued.
“Didn’t Earn It”. I like it gonna use that one.
I personally always refer to it as Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity (DIE).
