House Republicans to introduce bill ending federal funding for medical schools with DEI, 'race-based mandates'

Two House Republicans are sponsoring legislation to stop federal funding for medical schools with diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices.

Reps. Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, and Greg Murphy, R-N.C., will host a press conference at 2 p.m. ET on Tuesday on the EDUCATE Act, which looks "to eliminate all Federal funding, including student loans, to medical schools and accrediting institutions with race-based mandates and DEI practices," according to a press release from Wenstrup's office Monday.

Also scheduled to speak are Do No Harm President Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, and Tabia Lee, founding member of Free Black Thought and former head of DEI at De Anza College.
