Itโ€™s not only affirmative action. Just over a year after the Supreme Court ended that racist practice, radical activists are pushing new ways to discriminate in higher education, and far beyond race. To see where the woke set is going, look no further than a disturbing article published last month by a major medical journal. It shows a frightening new level of discrimination by political ideology, in which those who deviate from liberal orthodoxy are punished for their views.

Discrimination by political ideology isnโ€™t new, and at many colleges and universities, candidatesโ€™ commitment to โ€œdiversity, equity, and inclusionโ€ often determines whether theyโ€™re admitted as students or hired as faculty or staff members. Yet the Journal of the American College of Radiology, the flagship publication of a prominent medical specialty, has now demonstrated that the commitment to ideology is becoming even more explicit.
