OPINION: DEI and inclusive language are 'necessary to scientifically identify, measure, analyze, and address health disparities that afflict millions of people and cost billions of dollars,' writes M. Melissa McCormick, an anthropologist and medical edi...
For more than 30 years, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiative has aimed to realize the unfulfilled, central principle of our Declaration of Independence that the pursuit of liberty and happiness requires equality.
Despite this, Republicans in the Arizona state Legislature are trying to make DEI in state and local governments illegal. SB1694 would increase inequality and poor health by prohibiting discussion of systemic socioeconomic barriers as well as banning training in implicit bias, inclusive language, and “anti-racism.”
Every significant medical and public health entity promotes DEI and the “inclusive language” necessary to scientifically identify, measure, analyze, and address health disparities that afflict millions of people and cost billions of dollars. This includes the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education , The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , the American Medical Association , and the National Institutes of Health .
Among obvious, negative social and economic consequences, to ban DEI in Arizona is to deny medical science a well-established, evidence-based way to improve the health of many population groups who have long languished and died without good health care. Contact your legislator and ask them to oppose SB1694 and help save lives in Arizona.
