But I will tell you, I think one more, wait, can I just tell you one more important thing about this article? Is that they didn't actually look at the reason black babies were dying at higher rates under white doctors. And the reason was- that more serious ill babies were being taken care of by the white doctors.

It doesn't. And then when you have people who are not involved in medicine and actually don't have that understanding, you're going to get junk science like this, junk science like this. Which leads me to the AB241 lawsuit, which is the government trying to basically architect the medical consciousness of doctors.

So this law was actually signed, was passed and signed by Gavin Newsom and the legislature in 2019, but it's taken a few years for it to be implemented. And what it is, and the bill was AB 241, and the case is Katibi versus Hawkins, and we're fighting it with the help of our legal nonprofit, Pacific Legal Foundation.

What they basically said is that they want every doctor in CME, based on this law, to satisfy the implicit bias teaching. So the law says that every single continuing medical education course, and in the state of California, a doctor has to have 50 hours of continuing medical education every two years.

So the law says that every single continuing medical education course, and in the state of California, a doctor has to have 50 hours of continuing medical education every two years.

at every single continuing medical education course that a doctor teaches, they need to teach examples of how implicit bias affects perceptions and treatment decisions of physicians and surgeons, leading to disparities in health outcomes. Or,

Strategies to address how unintended biases and decision-making may contribute to healthcare disparities by shaping behavior and producing differences in medical treatment along the lines of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, socioeconomic status, or other characteristics. So that's what the law says.

And the law says that every doctor or organization or organizers has to do it at every single CME. So I think that this is ridiculous. It's a First Amendment violation. It opens the door to basically government controlling not just doctors, but all licensed professionals in California. And essentially, what they're doing is they're saying,

Implicit bias is bad and we can have that discussion because I actually think implicit bias understanding is very good for doctors to have. It's still controversial. So different doctors have different opinions on what implicit bias is. Is it the roots of prejudice? Is it not the roots of prejudice? But...

Sidney Kamlager Dove, with the help of some organizations, created this bill and got it passed into law because they want to avoid different outcomes based on race and gender, etc., especially race. And basically with CME, it's a system, just so your listeners understand, CME is continuing medical education.

It's a system that was created by doctors, for doctors, privately, with private institutions. And it was just a bunch of doctors getting together and saying, hey, it'd be nice for us to have these education courses and they would just meet and hang out. And then it became, as things grow, they became a system.
