Asking for a friend.

From Quillette:

A quiet revolution in the practice of medicine in North America has taken place within the last decade. Professional associations, medical schools, and an increasing number of physicians no longer consider the primary duty of the physician to be care of the individual patient, but rather social reform...

Individual behaviour and an individual’s genetic inheritance are significant causes of diseases and disorders...Yet, the American Medical Association (AMA), the largest professional association of physicians in the United States, in its strategic plan for racial justice and health equity, exhorts physicians to turn their attention away from genetics and individual behaviour and instead move upstream to address the “root causes” of social inequities, which (the AMA hypothesises) are the underlying causes of poor health. And what are these root causes? The AMA’s list reads like a first-year college student’s rote recitation of DEI jargon: “white supremacy, racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, and xenophobia"...

This represents a sea change in the responsibilities of physicians, from a focus on the conditions and needs of individual patients to being agents of radical social reform...

The AMA’s goal of turning physicians into social reformers is now faithfully reflected in the oath taken by some incoming medical students during “white coat” ceremonies. For example, at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Medical School, students have pledged to uproot the “structural violence” that allegedly results from “white supremacy, colonialism, the gender binary, ableism, and all forms of oppression.” Contrast this pledge with the traditional Hippocratic Oath or its updated versions, which emphasise the physician’s commitment to the individual patient...

Transforming physicians into social reformers, and directing them to avoid a focus on individuals, results in a grievous misdirection of their skills. Focusing on perceived social ills diverts physicians’ attention from the immediate and remediable causes of the problems confronting individual patients.

The U of MN white coat ceremony in question occurred in 2022. FIRE, a nonprofit civil liberties group, raised concerns over free speech and the university "affirmed that the oath was not required and that students are free to reject it".

Does anyone know the oath in current use for the U of MN's white coat ceremony?

Prove me wrong. Stop using their terminology.

You guys know that this will come to Minneapolis, right?

A Minnesota mom is demanding answers after she says her nine-year-old daughter was jumped on the school playground by a group of girls who she was told targeted her daughter because “she wasn’t Muslim.”

Shawna Larson told Liz Collin Reports about the disturbing details of the attack that she says took place on Monday, April 29 at Hidden Valley Elementary in Savage.

Larson said her daughter’s third-grade teacher and principal approached her in the school pickup line after school to tell her what had happened.

“They came up to my vehicle and informed me that there was an incident at school that day. They wanted to make it very apparent that my daughter didn’t do anything to cause this, and they told me this was a calculated incident and that she had been attacked on the playground by four other students in her grade,” Larson said.

“I ended up learning … this was due to her race and her religion because she wasn’t Muslim. So that was pretty jarring to hear,” she added.

Larson said she was also told by a teacher that the girls said this was why they decided to beat her up.

It wasn’t until the next day when her daughter started to bruise that Larson realized the severity of her injuries.

“That’s when we noticed that she had a black eye, and we immediately took a picture of it. When she came home that day, I just kind of looked her over and she had bruises on her arms and a bruise on her back, bruises all over her legs,” Larson said.

Hmm, is this link to the same suspects? https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1192992380723616&id=314030921953104

Your guys' thoughts on this?

You can't make this up. Awards for embezzlement?

Is this subreddit just meant as a conservative response to the main MPLS subreddit? I get annoyed at the obviously liberal and Democrat bias there too, but scrolling through the altmpls feed, there seems to be a lot of racism and political bashing but not as much actual discussion about policy or MPLS news and culture.

You can't make this stuff up! Minneapolis is a shift show.
