“Woke” Madness Spreading Like A Virus in Healthcare by Billy Davis, Steve Jordahl (OneNewsNow.com)
Thanks to audio recorded by a medical school student, journalist Katie Herzog reports in a July story that a professor stopped mid-lecture to apologize for two normal words – “pregnant woman” – that he had said earlier in front of the class.
“I don’t want you to think that I am in any way trying to imply anything,” the professor tells the class, “and if you can summon some generosity to forgive me, I would really appreciate it.”

The professor, who is teaching an endocrinology course at a University of California med school, goes on to apologize, again, and assures the students he did not intend to offend them.
“The worst thing that I can do as a human being,” he says, “is be offensive.”
Interviewed by Herzog about the “woke” culture at the med school, the anonymous student says a second professor told the class of future physicians that biological sex, sexual orientation, and gender are all “constructs” created by people. In a third example, the student said professors feel threatened by their own “woke” students who have circulated petitions to punish them for using words such as “he” and “she” during course discussions.
What that means, Herzog summarizes, is that medical students at a major university are demanding to be taught that human beings do not comprise two sexes, unlike other mammals, and back the demand with threats.
Asked about the “woke” culture at medical schools, Christian Medical Association spokesman Dr. Jeffrey Barrows says CMA has learned an alarming number of medical schools are dropping biological reality in the name of progressive wokeness.
