Doctor who says Duke University fired him for criticizing ‘pledge to left-wing ideology’ speaks outA 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.
