UCLA Med School Mandates Fat Positivity Indoctrination

The price of allowing liberals to subvert the healthcare field and subordinate it to their warped ideology is nowhere more obvious than at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine, where students are required to kneel to moonbat deities while a crazy lady denounces modern medicine as “white science,” where committing suicide to advance political objectives is encouraged, and where students are required to undergo “fat positivity” indoctrination.

All first-year medical students must take the course “Structural Racism and Health Equity”:

The Washington Free Beacon has obtained the entire syllabus for the course…

One required reading lists “anti-capitalist politics” as a principle of “disability justice” and attacks the evils of “ableist heteropatriarchal capitalism.” Others decry “racial capitalism,” attack “growth-centered economic theories,” and call for “moving beyond capitalism for our health.”

Health isn’t about health with leftists at the helm; like everything else, it is about imposing Marxism in its various applications. To get an idea of how healthy that is, consider the 100 million people killed by their own Marxist governments during the 20th century.

Students are required to read an essay by self-described “fat liberationist” Marquisele Mercedes.

The essay by Mercedes “describes how weight came to be pathologized and medicalized in racialized terms” and offers guidance on “resisting entrenched fat oppression,” according to the course syllabus. Mercedes claims that “ob*sity” is a slur “used to exact violence on fat people”—particularly “Black, disabled, trans, poor fat people”—and offers a “fat ode to care” that students are instructed to analyze, taking note of which sections “most resonate with you.”

Obesity is not a slur or an oppressed identity but a medical disorder that will take years if not decades off your life. It is associated with heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, osteoarthritis, gout, depression, gallbladder disease, and obstructive sleep apnea, among other conditions.

Yet even as the nanny state anarchotyrants running New York require warning labels on hot chocolate lest someone pack on a few extra ounces, doctors are trained to revere obesity rather that to help their patients overcome it — because cultural Marxism.

Admittedly, there is one advantage to being obese. It can help a “trans woman” evade punishment for exposing his genitalia to children. Actual headline from the bizarro world liberals have inflicted on us:

Trans Woman Is Cleared of Flashing Her Penis at Three Women Using Ohio YMCA After Judge Ruled She’s Too FAT for Her Genitals to Be Visible

Nothing tops transsexualism for depravity. But using a medical school to promote obesity comes close.
