SUMMARY:Restoring Merit to Medical Education
DESCRIPTION:Nearly all of America’s top medical schools have made Critical Race Theory and “anti-racism” parts of their core curriculum.

He has been widely published in medical journals\, as well as The Wall Street Journal\, and is co-host of the Do No Harm podcast. \n\n\n \n

SUMMARY:Rediscovering Western Civilization
DESCRIPTION:Stanley Kurtz\, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center\, will join the Martin Center for a luncheon on Wednesday\, June 12\, to discuss why the study of Western Civilization has nearly disappeared from higher education and how academia’s abandonment of the West is directly connected to the resurgence of anti-Semitism and protests on college campuses today. \nMr. Kurtz has led the campaign to reform federal subsidies to academic programs of “area studies\,” such as ethnic studies and gender studies\, under Title VI of the Higher Education Act\, and has co-authored model campus free-speech legislation adopted by several states. He is also a co-author of the General Education Act\, new model legislation designed to restore classic liberal education to public colleges and universities. \nMr. Kurtz’s latest book\, The Lost History of Western Civilization\, offers a deep dive into the replacement of traditional Western Civilization with “intersectionality\,” a new way of examining America’s cultural conflicts\, and what it all means for the future of the American experiment itself.
