The Medical Schools Abandon the Cult of Body Ideology

The University of California medical schools at Los Angeles and San Francisco have dropped mandatory diversity courses that once taught students the word obesity commits violence against fat people. The institutions informed Congress this month that the requirements no longer stand.

The University of California medical schools at Los Angeles and San Francisco informed the House Committee on Education and Workforce that they had discontinued required courses saturated with claims that ordinary medical language enacts violence and that body size constitutes an identity demanding ritual deference. These programs had compelled future physicians to treat clinical terminology as oppression and to subordinate diagnostic accuracy to the demands of the Managerial Priesthood.

The courses did not arise from any clinical necessity. They formed part of a coordinated effort to install ideological loyalty tests inside the training of healers, replacing the ancient vocation of medicine with the new catechism of equity.

Western Christendom once founded its universities upon the conviction that truth is discovered through reason ordered under divine law, a principle secured at Paris and Bologna and later defended at Wittenberg and Oxford. The present regime inverts that order by demanding that observable reality submit to the shifting decrees of identity.

The governing principle violated here is the Augustinian distinction between the City of God, which seeks truth, and the City of Man, which fabricates consent through power. When medical faculties compel falsehoods about the human body, they serve the latter city and betray their own inheritance.

The actor in this retreat is not a sudden return to sanity but the exposure of the ideology by outside reporting. The schools acted only after the Washington Free Beacon published the course materials and Congress demanded answers. Such institutions yield only when their masks are stripped away.

The faithful remnant must now refuse to send its sons and daughters into these captured faculties. Parallel institutions of medical formation must be built upon the recovered conviction that the body is real and that the physician's first duty is to speak what is true rather than what is permitted.

Those who continue to fund or attend the old schools ratify the substitution of propaganda for science. Those who withdraw their support begin the necessary separation.
