U. Wisconsin med school admits black students at 6 times rate of Asians

The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health accepts black applicants at a rate six times higher than it does Asian applicants, despite lower average Medical College Admissions Test scores, a medical advocacy group recently reported.

However, the public university denied that it accepts applicants based on their race when contacted by The College Fix.

The report “Skirting SCOTUS Part III: How Medical Schools Continue to Practice Racially Conscious Admissions” by Do No Harm analyzed 2024 admissions data from 23 medical schools, including the University of Wisconsin’s.

At the Wisconsin medical school, it found that “a black applicant has nearly 10 times the odds of admission compared to an Asian or white applicant with the same MCAT score and GPA.”

Admitted black applicants averaged MCAT scores in the 62nd percentile, while white and Asian admits averaged scores in the 86th percentile, according to the report.

A page on the medical school’s website states that “diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are top priorities,” and that it aims to build programs that “reflect” the communities it serves. Its admissions page also highlights that 28 percent of the students who are admitted are “underrepresented in medicine.”

However, UW spokesperson John Lucas told The Fix that the medical school does not discriminate on the basis of an applicant’s race.

“The admission process reviews every aspect of an application with the strength of academic preparation key to determining an applicant’s likelihood of success. No student is admitted on the basis of their race/ethnicity/identity,” Lucas said in a recent email.

“Students are admitted on the basis of their likelihood to succeed throughout the rigorous course of study” in the medical school’s programs, Lucas said.

He also told The Fix that the medical school “educates and trains competent and skilled physicians who are well-equipped to practice medicine and care for their patients.”

Meanwhile, Ian Kingsbury, director of research and co-author of the report, told The College Fix that the admissions analysis was based on data from public records requests to allopathic medical schools in the U.S. Do No Harm works to keep identity politics out of medical education and practice.

The group requested data on student acceptance rates, race, MCAT scores, and GPAs to “observe whether candidates receive preferential treatment based on their race,” Kingsbury said.

“Students with stronger academic credentials (i.e. GPA and MCAT scores) tend to perform better through the medical school pathway (i.e. medical school and residency). Deprioritizing objective measures of merit in service of racial goals is extremely foolish,” he told The Fix in a recent statement via email.

Do No Harm’s report, published in July, is the third part in a series of investigations into racial discrimination at U.S. medical schools.

Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver Smears Trump — Claims His Use of “Liberation Day” Is Secret Code for “White Power” … But Forgets Newsom Used the Same Phrase

Democrats are at it again, twisting President Trump’s words into some deranged conspiracy theory about “racism” that exists only in their heads.

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) launched a bizarre smear campaign this week, accusing Trump of using the phrase “Liberation Day” as a hidden dog whistle for “white power.”

In a post, McIver claimed:

“When Trump opens his mouth to say ‘it’s liberation day’ he’s really screaming out White Power! Modern day racism!”

When Trump opens his mouth to say “it’s liberation day” he’s really screaming out White Power!

Modern day racism!

— LaMonica McIver (@LamonicaMciver) August 12, 2025

That wasn’t enough for her. She doubled down during an interview, ranting:

“When he says, ‘Oh, it’s Liberation Day and all of these things, those are ways of him saying, Oh, it’s white power. It’s what I want to do.’ Those are racist remarks. His number one targets are cities that are led by black mayors. His number one targets are cities, our sanctuary cities that support immigration.”

JUSTICE DENIED: How a Black Liberal Democrat Is Allegedly Being Discriminated Against by White Liberal Oregon Politicians

Bob Parker deserves justice and he needs our help:  For 37 years liberal white Democrats who have controlled Oregon’s governmental institutions have and are still denying him compensation for the damage the legislature acknowledges (Senate Resolution 22 passed in 2021) he suffered at the hands of politicians, lobbyists, the Oregon Supreme Court and the Oregon State Bar. (Liberal Oregonian columnist Steve Duin details the basics here for background.)

Parker alleges in a letter to US Attorney General Pam Bondi that ‘institutional bias and systemic racism’ exists within the Oregon Department of Justice led by Trump hating Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield and the Department of Administrative Services led by far-left Trump hater Governor Tina Kotek.  Parker asks AG Bondi to have the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ initiate an investigation into these government agencies regarding the alleged bias and racism.

The irony is that Bob Parker is black and a self-described Democrat trained political operative who has been denied compensation for years by white, liberal Democrats in charge of the government, even though that same government including the Oregon Supreme Court now admits he did no wrong.

Imagine that: White Democrat liberals who claim to be the champions of blacks show their true, hypocritical colors when it comes to opening the check book to right a wrong they inflicted on a fellow Democrat, who just happens to be black.

Former Oregon State Representative and Trump supporter Jeff Kropf adds a cover letter to AG Bondi stating that he knows Parker’s story is true and that in his opinion Parker is being discriminated against by Oregon DOJ.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett Says Republicans Want to ‘Systemically’ Remove Black ‘Electeds’

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) claimed Monday that Republican-led redistricting efforts are aimed at reducing the number of Black members of Congress, asserting that these moves violate constitutional protections and the Voting Rights Act.

Speaking during an appearance on CNN’s The Lead, Crockett alleged that Republican lawmakers in multiple states are working to “systemically get rid” of Black elected officials as part of their strategy to secure political victories.

“When it comes to our base, they want to see a fight,” Crockett said.

“They don’t want to see us just lay down and say, OK, well, the Republicans want to do whatever they want to do. They want to minimize voices. They want to systemically get rid of those black electeds.”

Crockett pointed to several states she says are already engaged in these tactics.

“When I look at the numbers, and to be clear, Florida is already in this thing. We know that Texas is in this thing. We know that they’re putting pressure on Indiana as well as Missouri,” she said.

According to Crockett, these efforts are part of a broader Republican plan to win elections by altering congressional maps in ways that reduce minority representation.

“I’m Trying to Hold My Temper” – Race Baiting MSNBC Commentator TRIGGERED by Trump’s Crackdown on Crime in DC, Blames Obsession with Black Lives Matter and “Racial Politics” to Distract from Epstein Story

Eddie Glaude, an Ivy League critical race theory and African American studies professor at Princeton, went on MSNBC on Monday to condemn President Trump’s federalization of DC’s Metropolitan Police Department, blaming racism and Jeffrey Epstein for the move. 

“I’m trying to hold my temper,” Glaude told MSNBC’s Chris Jansing in response to the President’s comments during a press conference earlier. “I think there’s an ongoing argument that he’s having in his head with Black Lives Matter.”

It should be noted that in 2021, over 96% of suspects in Washington, DC homicides and nonfatal shootings were black, according to a National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform report.

“He really doesn’t really care about what’s actually happening in DC… because he’s not trying to get at the underlying root causes,” Glaude continued.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump announced on Monday that he is taking federal control over DC’s Metropolitan Police Department and authorizing the use of national guard troops to solve the “public safety emergency” in the nation’s capital.

Trump also called on Republicans in Congress to change the statutes to get rid of “no cash bail” and “some of the other things” that empower criminals in DC and other major cities across the nation.

“This city will no longer be a sanctuary for illegal alien criminals. We will have full, seamless, integrated cooperation at all levels of law enforcement, and we’ll deploy officers across the district with an overwhelming presence,” Trump said.

United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro went off earlier on the “young punks” that are terrorizing the city and revealed that minors are not even being prosecuted for violent crime but, instead, receiving a slap on the wrist and released back into the community.

Complaint alleges 32 scholarships at Florida State U. discriminate on race, gender

A civil rights complaint has been filed against Florida State University alleging 32 scholarships at the school discriminate based on race or gender.

“We didn’t expect to find such a large number of discriminatory scholarships at a major state university in the anti-woke Free State of Florida,” stated the Equal Protection Project, which recently filed the complaint.

For example, FSU scholarships that were flagged included wording such as “it is the preference … that the recipient be an African American/Black student” and “the preference … that the recipient be a female.”

The university’s Crossman Career Builders Scholarship states “it is the preference of the donor that the recipient be a female who is Black/African American, Hispanic, or a member of the Seminole Tribe.”

“Such word games cannot evade the civil rights laws and equal protection constitutional guarantee,” the complaint read.

The Office for Civil Rights is currently evaluating the case, according to the project.

The complaint alleges the scholarships violate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, barring racial discrimination, Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments, barring gender-based discrimination, and the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause, which prohibits discriminatory legislation toward specific demographics.

‘Whitelash’: Professors say white students get angry, frustrated by ‘anti-racist education’

Two social work scholars argue that their “anti-racist education” efforts in the classroom faced “whitelash” from white students, who became emotionally distraught, pushed back by using “color-blind rhetoric,” or later wrote negative course reviews.

Quinn Hafen from the University of Wyoming and Marie Villescas from Colorado State University recently published an article in the Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research detailing their experience creating a “pedagogy of discomfort” to challenge white supremacy in the classroom.

The method was criticized by two scholars in interviews with The College Fix, who called the experiment somewhat abusive.

“[T]he more I reflect on that paper, the more I find it cruel to shame students based on immutable identities they hold, regardless of identity,” one observer said via email. “For the professors, it appeared that White and male students were their target.”

The College Fix reached out via email to both Hafen and Villescas regarding some of the concerns raised about their teaching methods. Hafen and Villescas did not reply.

Whites underrepresented in prestigious high schools after courts uphold ‘proxy’ preferences: suit

What good is the Supreme Court’s two-year-old ban on racial preferences in educational admissions if the high court lets other high-demand schools flagrantly flout it?

That’s what justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas asked their colleagues last year when SCOTUS declined to review a ruling that upheld an admissions scheme explicitly designed to change racial demographics in Boston’s most prestigious public high schools, several months after the duo scolded the court for declining a similar Virginia case across the river from D.C.

The plaintiffs in the Boston challenge have come back with a new 14th Amendment lawsuit claiming the mid-litigation pivot to a different admissions scheme for the so-called exam schools, based on socioeconomic “tiers” instead of the original zip codes, has created the “disparate impact” result required by the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals: underrepresentation.

“Now, by clustering most white students together in one ‘tier’ where they compete only against each other for Exam School seats, the current Tier System ‘succeeded’ in reducing the proportion of white students admitted to the Exam Schools below the group’s share of the applicant pool three years in a row,” the suit says.

Filed by the Boston Parent Coalition for Academic Excellence on behalf of dozens of parents of white and Asian-American students denied and seeking admission to Boston Latin School, Boston Latin Academy and John D. O’Bryant School of Science and Mathematics, the lawsuit includes data on the composition of the applicant pool from a public records request.

“Because these students were denied admission to their Exam School of choice due to their race, court-ordered admission to those schools is the only remedy for this race-based harm,” and a permanent injunction on the tier system is the only remedy for future applicants, the suit says.

“Boston Public Schools cannot launder racial quotas through socioeconomic labels” in the tier system, said the coalition’s lawyer, Chris Kieser of the Pacific Legal Foundation. “The Equal Protection Clause forbids government discrimination, whether done openly or by proxy.”

The defendants, Boston School Committee and Superintendent Mary Skipper, on Tuesday got an extension of time to file an answer until Sept. 11. The district’s lawyers didn’t answer queries by Just the News, and a district spokesperson referred the query to another office, which did not respond.

Northern Virginia’s prestigious Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, the subject of Justice Alito’s first fiery rebuke of his colleagues for tacitly allowing “intentional racial discrimination … so long as it is not too severe,” continues facing political and regulatory scrutiny for alleged discrimination against Asian Americans.

The U.S. Department of Education opened a civil rights probe of Fairfax County Public Schools this spring, from a referral by state Attorney General Jason Miyares, into its admissions policy adopted in 2020 that eliminated standardized testing and implemented a “holistic” evaluation process for TJ, as it’s known, that includes personal experiences.

Muslim Rape Gangs: The most sustained and complete race-based crime in British history

The Muslim rape gangs have been the most sustained and complete race-based crime in British history.

The mass rape of children by “grooming gangs” has been ongoing for decades, with tens of thousands of victims.  Despite reports and inquiries, no significant action has been taken against those responsible.   

Instead, it has been met with denial, deflection and trivialisation.  There have been no high-profile resignations or sackings of police chiefs, council officials or Members of Parliament (“MPs”).  Worse still, the British establishment has enabled and apologised for Pakistani Muslim rapists.

It’s estimated that 1 in 11 Pakistani descent men in the UK have taken part in child rapes, with recorded rapes increasing tenfold in the last 20 years.  Yet, the government is increasingly censoring discussion of the issue, with laws like the Online Harms Act and Crime and Policing Act allowing for imprisonment of those who speak out about the mass rapes, such as Tommy Robinson.

Law schools face pressure to discriminate under ABA accreditation ‘monopoly’: report

The American Bar Association places pressure on top public law schools to implement “unconstitutional” race and sex-based preferences in admissions and hiring, according to a new report by the Pacific Legal Foundation.

The foundation’s report, published in July, says the ABA does this through its “monopoly” accreditation process.

However, a bar association official denied any unlawful discrimination when contacted by The College Fix.

Pacific Legal, a public interest law firm focused on defending individual liberties, based its findings on accreditation reports from 45 of the top 50 public law schools through open records requests from 2014 to 2023.

The report found that 20 of the responding schools were criticized for failing to meet the ABA’s “diversity standards,” thus risking their accreditation status. These criticisms include failing to hire a sufficient amount of faculty from minority groups, having  “limited DEI curriculum integration,” and “not having enough LGBTQ+ support groups.”

According to the report, these standards often require or encourage practices that conflict with the U.S. Constitution and state and federal civil rights laws.

“The ABA has told law schools that they have to implement the ABA’s own problematic diversity standards, even if state or federal law might prohibit them from doing so,” Zack Smith, senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told The Fix recently when asked about the report. Smith previously worked as an assistant U.S. attorney in Florida.

The findings center on the bar association’s accreditation Standards 205 and 206, which obligate law schools to demonstrate a commitment to diversity and inclusion regarding students, faculty, and staff in terms of race and sex by the virtue of “non-discrimination,” according to the foundation’s report.

Schools that fail to meet these standards risk punishment and a loss of accreditation, according to the report.

The report documents examples of schools being pushed to adopt racial preferences despite state-level prohibitions. In one case, Charleston School of Law was denied accreditation until it agreed to appoint a diversity director to remediate concerns regarding sufficient racial diversity in the school.
