Rantz: Seattle clinic demands high school educator commit to left-wing racial views
A Seattle-based healthcare supplier is requiring candidates for a highschool educator function to decide to left-wing agenda. How a lot of this propaganda can be pushed onto college students within the classroom?
Neighborcare is hiring a well being educator to work at Vashon Island Excessive Faculty to advertise long-acting reversible contraception as a method to stop unintended being pregnant and supply different details about intercourse training. However the job utility makes it clear that they have to additionally subscribe to far-left racial fairness targets.
Candidates should work to realize Neighborcare’s mission of dismantling unnamed supremacist insurance policies, acknowledge the hazards of institutionalized white supremacy, and forestall white folks from having too influential a voice in its fairness mission. It has successfully established an ideological purity take a look at for future staff. It prompted a involved potential applicant to flag this utility to the Jason Rantz Present on KTTH.

Embrace a far-left mission earlier than educating teenagers
If candidates thought they’d merely educate highschool college students about being pregnant and sexual well being, they came upon shortly that they had been mistaken.
As is frequent, Neighborcare lists its mission assertion on the job utility web page. But it surely additionally provides a dedication to fairness, variety, and inclusion (EDI). To be able to work for the healthcare supplier, candidates “should” work to meet its EDI targets.
Neighborcare calls for its staff “determine, deal with, and dismantle supremacist insurance policies and practices, heal the harm they trigger, and take away the boundaries to attaining fairness for our workers and sufferers.” It doesn’t clarify the insurance policies and practices, nor clarify how they trigger harm or arrange boundaries to healthcare entry.
By coaching and “clear directives,” the well being educator should “acknowledge the lethal influence of racism and white supremacy within the material of our establishments, society, and nation.” And if white workers are too influential in advancing or setting the targets, Neighborcare guarantees to “heart the voices of individuals of coloration within the dialog.”

Fairness Mad Libs
Neighborcare doesn’t supply any examples of racist coverage it references in its mission. It regurgitates the identical progressive script we’ve seen earlier than. It’s like an fairness Mad Libs the place they fill in simply sufficient phrases to personalize the mission to what they do as a company.
However far-left activists imagine this nation — and all its establishments, together with healthcare, training, and prison justice — had been based via a white supremacist lens. These establishments, they imagine, have to be dismantled and rebuilt. Based mostly on the job utility, which says it has a “public dedication to racial justice and well being fairness,” candidates presumably have to be vocal about these political views.
The Jason Rantz Present on KTTH requested a Neighborcare spokesperson if she might clarify the impetus for the EDI mission, examples of “supremacist insurance policies and practices,” and if certified candidates can apply, even when they don’t subscribe to left-wing claims about racism. The spokesperson mentioned she spoke with management and determined to move on offering remark.
The Vashon Island Faculty District additionally didn’t reply to a request for remark.

Right here’s why this issues
Healthcare suppliers like Neighborcare can maintain no matter fringe beliefs they need to maintain.
I discover it will get in the way in which of offering the very healthcare and training it hopes to supply. In any case, not everybody feels comfy visiting a healthcare supplier that institutionalizes such wild positions. Are you able to belief them to offer healthcare free from political bias about your privilege?
Nonetheless, Neighborcare has each proper to heart its work round political views. It’s hardly the one healthcare supplier within the space to espouse such views.
However this well being educator is put in entrance of public highschool college students.
College students needs to be free from political indoctrination. Given the mission of Neighborcare, it appears unlikely that politics gained’t leak into the well being training function. It’s additionally affordable to marvel if, given the middle’s ideological bent, college students will get well being training based mostly on science fairly than politics.
