🧵As an NC journalist who pays attention, here's eight examples DEI/wokeness at Duke:

1. Duke Health Anti-Racism Pledge
In May 2021, Duke issued a pledge declaring "racism is a public health crisis"


Although allegedly "guided by science", under pushback from an adjunct associate, a "Duke Health senior administrator" made the following admission:

"I concede that I cannot find a randomized blinded trial that proves implicit bias is the cause of worse health outcomes for African Americans. Believe me. I have looked."

2. PRIME-PREP
One of Duke's "signature diversity initiatives"

This NIH funded program "provides focused research training opportunities for students from backgrounds historically underrepresented in science and medicine"



The NIH definition of "Underrepresented Populations" includes women, non-White/non-Asian racial groups, people with disabilities, and people from disadvantaged backgrounds


I believe a claim has been filed regarding this program with the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR)

3. Alice M. Baldwin Scholars Program

@Mark_J_Perry has filed an OCR complaint about this Duke program for "female-identified undergraduate students"


The "advocacy" pillar of the program's objectives includes combatting "gender inequity", particularly "people with multiple marginalized identities"

4. Perry Initiative

After an OCR complaint against 12 universities, including Duke, for partnering with programs only open to applicants "gender-identify[ing] as female or non-binary", Duke claimed the event was opened to participant of any gender (or gender "identity")

5. Black Men in Medicine

Another OCR complaint has been filed against Duke for a racially exclusive initiative convened by the Vice Dean for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion to benefit black male faculty

6. Racial Justice Task Force

Created by the Duke University School of Nursing (DUSON) Dean's Office and Office of Diversity & Inclusion

The task force's recommendations include "address[ing] bias, racism, microaggressions, health disparities, and antiracist training in every semester of every DUSON program of study"

7. Transitioning Children

As revealed by @EdFirstNC, the director of the Duke Center for Child and Adolescent Gender Care, Dr. Deanna Adkins, was quoted in a 2016 interview as having "transgender patients as young as 2"



A more recent pro-trans article highlighted 16-year-old "Maddie", who was first socially transitioned by her mother at the age of six, then later received "puberty blockers" at the university's child gender clinic

8. Safe Space for Child Castration Supporterss

In response to an NC law last year banning "surgical gender transition procedures" on minors, Duke Health held a "safe and supportive space" for the "wide range of reactions and emotions" being experienced

1/ A sheriff's office used its governmental power to obtain the identity of an anonymous online critic who made 1A-protected post

1/ @chccs superintendent Nyah Hamlett will be moving to her next DEI position after a scandal-ridden term

Hamlett was discovered to have plagiarized in her doctoral dissertation, and she's facing a lawsuit for "maliciously" using the court system against critics
🧵🧵🧵 Image
2/ Hamlett came to North Carolina from the Loudoun County, VA

Months after her departure as Chief of Staff, the school district was embroiled in a scandal when it attempted to cover-up the rape of at least two female students by a skirt-wearing male Image
3/ In Loudoun Co. they had the father of one of the victims arrested

Hamlett's administration merely filed reports with two different police departments based solely on critical emails and social media posts by a parent

1/ On December 4, a 10-year Muslim convert made his way to the RDU airport to fly to Morocco and join the Islamic State in Africa

What the would-be jihadist didn't know is that his ISIS contacts were undercover FBI, and he'd been under surveillance for months
🧵🧵🧵 Image
2/ Alexander "Alec" Justin White aka "Sulaiman Al-Amriki," 29, of Durham, was arrested and charged with Providing, Attempting, and Conspiring to Provide Material Support to a Designated Foreign Terrorist Organization per court documents unsealed last week
