Social activism is harming children

Did you know that most medical schools focus more on activism than science now? [View this message in your browser]( Hello Friend, Did you know that most medical schools focus more on activism than science now? Instead of teaching these men and women to be doctors and care for their patients as individuals, they’re turning medical students into woke social activists. There is NO place in medical science for social activism, especially when it overwhelmingly affects children. The media line that "hospitals don't do genital surgeries on minors" is a brazen lie. Researchers have long confirmed that "vaginoplasties are being performed on minors by surgeons in the United States." They even titled their paper "Age Is Just a Number." Let me introduce myself. I am Richard Walker, Executive Director at the Benjamin Rush Institute (BRI). I’ve set a goal to raise $45,000 by the end of the month to offer medical students an alternative to woke social activism.

Almost 40% of the girls who underwent this life-altering surgery were minors on the day of the surgery. Children are undergoing irreversible surgeries because of the pressure of woke social activists. Friend, the radical Left is trying to take over medical schools, take ethical principles out of medicine, and turn doctors into “social justice warriors.” If life-altering surgeries aren’t bad enough, that’s not the only way social activism within the medical field harms children. Boston Children's Hospital is promoting a program called HOTT, in which adults teach minors how to "tuck" a penis with medical tape to look like a vagina. They are also telling children that after they "have been on hormones for a while, things will shrink and become more comfortable." As Dr. Stanley Goldfarb said, “Healthcare is close to a tipping point, but I’m confident a majority of physicians oppose what’s happening to our profession. Many fear speaking out, lest the social-justice mob destroy their careers, but the woke takeover of healthcare will do that anyway.” The Benjamin Rush Institute is giving medical students a voice within the woke medical community. Can you support medical students and empower them to overcome the push toward woke social activism in healthcare?

Walker Executive Director Benjamin Rush Institute richard@benjaminrushinstitute.org (214) 507-4610 Who Was Benjamin Rush? Dr. Rush was a leading doctor in the American founding era and one of five physician signers of the Declaration of Independence. He believed in medicine as a profession and that America’s founding principles of freedom complemented and protected the patient-doctor relationship. According to Dr. Rush and the Founders, government doesn’t bestow human rights. Rather, it is government’s duty to protect natural human rights. In order to secure the blessings of liberty—which includes doctors’ ability to treat their patients without stifling regulation—government must be limited and operate similarly to medicine’s guiding principle: First, do no harm.
