Portraits of medical legends moved because they 'reinforce white men are in charge'
Brigham and Women's Hospital, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, is taking down its prominent display of its past medical legends because too many are white men.
Diversity and inclusion initiatives prompted the removal of 30 portraits from the hospital's Bornstein Amphitheater because the paintings reinforce "that white men are in charge," one professor said. The Boston Globe first reported the news, writing that past white male luminaries will be dispersed to "put the focus on diversity."
Portraits that had hung in the amphitheater for decades will now be moved to less visible areas like conference rooms and lobby halls.
Dr. Betsy Nabel, the president of Brigham and Women's Hospital, said she made the decision to get rid of white men after reading the minds of minority students looking at the portraits.

A mind reader, eh? Wow, just when you think it can't possibly get any dumber, there it is!
White walls will be left and someone will complain.
To think Harvard was once one of the greatest. Now its not much better then a community college full of snowflake professors and sage spaces.
Stupid is as stupid does...
Liberal University's will die out by their own hand.
White men had the initiative to educate themselves. White men had the initiative to go to work. And somehow we are to blame for someone else's stupidity? No one gave us handouts. We worked for what we wanted. Sick and tired of hearing garbage like this. When do you think they will stop wanting this, and stop wanting that? Never, as long as you keep giving in to them. Just tell them, "It isn't going to happen, now move on." Africa is in their hands and look at the state the entire continent is in. That says it all. But that's most likely our fault too.
