President Trump's Department of Justice has fired the first major shot against illegal race-based discrimination in higher education, announcing this week that it will intervene in a federal lawsuit against UCLA's medical school over its blatantly unconstitutional admissions practices.
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon is leading the charge, with the DOJ filing to join the lawsuit that accuses UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine of using race as a primary factor in selecting students—a practice that violates both federal law and the Supreme Court's landmark decision ending affirmative action.
This is exactly what America voted for in 2024: a Justice Department that actually fights FOR equal treatment under the law instead of promoting reverse racism and woke ideology.
The End of Institutional Racism
For decades, elite universities have operated a two-tiered system that punishes qualified students based solely on their skin color. UCLA's medical school appears to be no different, allegedly maintaining quotas and preferences that would make the civil rights heroes of the 1960s roll over in their graves.
"After a long history of discrimination disguised as 'diversity,' it's time these institutions face real consequences," the DOJ filing indicates, marking a complete 180-degree turn from the Biden administration's policy of encouraging racial discrimination in education.
The Trump administration is proving that equal protection under the law isn't just a slogan—it's a constitutional guarantee that will be enforced regardless of which racial groups benefit from the illegal preferences.
Medical School Quotas Harm Everyone
This isn't just about fairness in admissions—it's about the quality of healthcare Americans receive. When medical schools prioritize race over merit, they're potentially putting less qualified doctors in operating rooms and emergency wards across the country.
Patriots should be asking: Do you want your surgeon chosen based on their medical knowledge and skill, or because they help the university hit diversity targets?
With Dhillon at the helm of Civil Rights enforcement, expect more lawsuits targeting institutions that continue to flout Supreme Court precedent and federal anti-discrimination laws. The era of institutionalized racism disguised as "equity" is officially over.
