Med School "Wokeness" Challenged

The piece -- written by podcast host Katie Herzog and published on former New York Times op-ed writer Bari Weiss's Substack -- posited that "wokeness" has eroded the fabric of medical education by forcing professors to teach biological sex as a social construct, thereby stripping sex of its scientific validity and medical relevance. According to Herzog's reporting, teachers from top medical schools are "running scared of students," afraid that one slip-up -- such as using terms like "male" and "female" in a lecture -- may lead to a public shaming or, even worse, the end of their career.
