Civil Rights Attorney Warns of Bill Targeting DEI in Medical Schools

June 2nd, 2025. A recently uploaded video discusses HR 3518, a bill that could defund medical schools promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The video's creator, Augustus Corbert, a civil rights attorney, expresses concerns about the bill's potential impact on Black medical students and doctors. "This bill attempts to change a civil rights bill from the sixties," Corbert explains, adding, "They're using it against us." The video warns against reelecting a specific candidate, linking the bill to a political agenda called "Project 2025." This claim requires further investigation and verification. The video's passionate delivery and the attorney's expertise provide a compelling narrative, but the claims about "Project 2025" require careful fact-checking before publication. The video highlights the need for a nuanced discussion about DEI and its implications for healthcare.
