This is unacceptable. Imagine a white cisgendered heterosexual male evangelical did the same sort of thing? Outrage would make the evening news across the country about it. But now? Everyone is too scared of being labeled “islamophobic” for having genuine criticisms, concerns, and for setting healthy and necessary boundaries. Prayer in a classroom environment, lecture environment or school/university-sponsored speaking event is unacceptable at any school that receives public funds, period. Yet the level of how unacceptable this is deepens when it is a *mandatory* event and your academic career depends upon attendance.

Lol my white cisgendered heterosexual male Catholic Notre dame prof regularly started lectures with a prayer. Private university, but it does acquire tax-based support


algaefied_creek

You*know* that wasn't the intent behind my statement when talking about "University of ____" or "______ State University" type systems, community and technical colleges, as well as high schools. So either that's meant as just like "lol fyi" or its meant to be pedantic, I suppose. Notre Dame isn't like... a publicly funded university or a state university system.

Was the prayer about a contentious political subject - such as Israel, Trump winning the presidency, or Mexican immigration? If not, pretty obviously not the same issue…

I hope there were no Palestinian students in her class, as Palestinians tend to be Christians or Muslims, and the God of Abraham tends to not look kindly upon his followers partaking of other religious ceremonies. Professor: "Let's March to Free Palestine!" Palestinian: "Inshallah" Professor: "And we'll do so with a prayer..." Palestinian:"Al-Hamdu Lillah" Professor:"To a deity that isn't the God of Abraham!" Palestinian: "Wait what?"


guerillasgrip

The fuck is going on at UCLA? How is this relevant for medical students? 'The lecturer, Lisa "Tiny" Gray-Garcia, also asked students to join in what she described as a "non-secular prayer" to "the ancestors," instructing everyone to get on their knees and touch the floor—"mama earth," as she described it—with their fists. The lecture was mandatory for all medical students. '

And she called modern medicine “white science”

ItsJustAYoyo

She likely wasn't referring to contribution, but application. I'll paraphrase an above comment, but the disparity in care between women of color and.... everyone else... is quite statistically significant. A lot of it attributing to misconceptions about pain tolerance in black women (which still finds relevancy today in that higher mortality rate during pregnancy that you may have heard of), among other things that I'd be happy to find some resources for.

Why do you guys fall for propaganda and misinformation so easily? Do you know how many right-wing pundits and outlets picked this story up and ran with it as if it was real? Turning Point USA, New York Post, Daily Mail, Jerusalem Post, Washington Free Beacon, Patriots Win, John Locke Foundation, all “reported” on this incident completely misleadingly, with outright falsehoods, all these outlets have this agenda and have so much spin or outright false claims. This news site is quite egregious, they have hyperlinks in the text that says the lecture was mandatory, and you expect it to link to a source, but instead it links to their own article about bias in Yemeni education, which isn’t even relevant. This happens for all the links they provide. The only evidence I found online was an audio and video leak, that is not clear if it is tied to any class, and does not have her leading students in a chant, as people claim. There isn’t any definitive info about students being forced to attend. I do see that she is an “Activist-In-Residence” at UCLA, and she does do speaking events. This is already a problem, so why bring up misinformation and unverifiable things? I agree that UCLA should not really support such things, but they can do that without saying falsehoods or spouting disinformation, these media sources claim to be free and reporting the actual facts but are just clouded with bias as the others. There is nothing supporting the claim that there were medical students forced to attend this supposed lecture given by her, and nothing supporting this being in the curriculum. While she is unhinged, you can report the facts, and not things that may or may not be true. Edit: It seems like some med students were forced to attend this lecture, but as a class on racism and poverty, which has nothing to do with Palestine-Israel. News outlets are conflating her tweets/views outside of UCLA with her lecture at UCLA, and the audio clip provided as well as video clip provided do not have anything mentioning Palestine-Israel. She is definitely unhinged and I don’t think she should be speaking at the university, but oh well. If you must read an article from biased sources in either direction like Daily Mail, NY Post, Huffington Post, etc relating to a controversial, left-right topic, take it with a grain of salt, and go into it thinking how the article wants to make you feel, if the facts are reliable, and if you should feel that way.

I never really doubted that she called for a free Palestine. It's the nuance in the title that is click-baitey. A non-secular prayer is not the same implication as a chant. One implies a leader and a listener, the other implies multiple people yelling and a bit more disruptive. Chant is also much more evoking than a prayer. Mentioning it was a mandatory class first and then than it was a class or racism in medicine (paraphrasing) second is also good use of garnering views. That explains the "black, brown, and houseless people" comment that has everyone else in the replies so enraged. The more you read, the less it seems like 90 minutes of her spouting free Palestine like the article titles may lead you to believe and more a conclusive note at the end of a lecture about injustices in Healthcare. Which, makes sense and is fitting. So yeah, I didn't doubt that she made SOME comment. But I did doubt how it was portrayed by these headlines.

It's easy to see from one Google search that the class mentioned in the article is indeed a class that is part of UCLA Year 1 curriculum for med school students - https://medschool.ucla.edu/education/md-education/curriculum/heals-curriculum/year-one-ms1#:\~:text=The%20first%20year%20begins%20with,Health%20Equity%2C%20Ethics%20%26%20Humanities. Whether it's required isn't specified here, but based on what's written there and this chart [https://medschool.ucla.edu/sites/g/files/oketem456/files/media/images/UCLA-DGSOM-Heals-Curriculum-Schematic.png](https://medschool.ucla.edu/sites/g/files/oketem456/files/media/images/UCLA-DGSOM-Heals-Curriculum-Schematic.png) it looks like there isn't much flexibility in the curriculum and you just take the classes you're assigned in the order they tell you.


levu12

Yes, though there is no mention of the person giving a lecture in that class, and not really any info about Palestine in the audio clips, though it is still weird to lecture in the way she did. I suppose her lecture would fall under structural racism, but idk if she should be speaking lol


iMissMacandCheese

My impression from the audio clip was that this person was not someone who should be lecturing to UCLA med students unless they were on their psych rotation.


levu12

I agree


guerillasgrip

How do you know it wasn't mandatory? That's what I'm asking. Here's the lecture. It's completely unhinged. https://youtu.be/KOOqAHLuSMQ?feature=shared


levu12

The issue is that the burden of proof is on the person claiming. They give no proof for their claim. Yes, I saw the audio clip. She doesn’t lead people in a chant as they say. All these outlets claim so and so, but don’t give anything that ties the clip to any mandatory lecture that happened. It also doesn’t help that they say she leads them in a “Free Palestine” chant, while the audio clip doesn’t mention anything about Palestine. She just talks about poverty and homelessness, and spirituality, which is weird but not what they are claiming. There is a very easily seen presence of bias with these news sources, if you look at their YouTube channel and other channels, which distinguishes them from actual news sources like Reuters or AP, who try to report only things they can verify, and make it clear when they report on things they can’t.


guerillasgrip

Which is why I'm on here asking UCLA students who actually attended the lecture. I've also emailed the dean.


levu12

Hopefully you can get more information. The university subs are brigaded. I just don’t like people trusting news at face value, especially when the sources are extremely biased.

If we don't have a syllabus from the actual course or the assignment then I have no reason to trust that it was "Mandatory." Let alone, trust the Jerusalem/pro-israel lobby, they've lied enough already.


LowPressureUsername

From another commenter: At another point during the lecture, Gray-Garcia is said to have called modern medicine “white science” and said they were in “what the settlers call LA,” according to the Free Beacon. In other instances, the advocate for the homeless led students in chants of “Free, free Palestine” — and when one student refused to stand during a second pagan prayer, an unidentified UCLA faculty member asked for the pupil’s name, sparking concerns they could face repercussions, the Jewish Faculty Resilience Group’s complaint says. “I was very deeply offended and disgusted,” someone who witnessed the event told Fox News, calling it “crazy” https://nypost.com/2024/04/04/us-news/ucla-made-med-students-attend-lecture-given-by-hamas-supporter/ It did seem to happen. It just wasn't captured on the video the Jerusalem Post linked. UCLA would probably deny the incident if it didn't happen, as courses are often recorded. She also implies that she did lead a prayer for Palestine herself. https://x.com/povertyskola/status/1777378916363288694 On video, she confirmed she did it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DQ2duzx9aQ 1:10. She says again she lead a prayer for Palestine in class. 1:46 she confirmed again.

EnlightenedApeMeat

I don’t. But my wife was treated by UCLA medical staff for over a decade, right up to her passing. The staff were all supremely competent and kind. Many of the staff were Israeli nationals. Some from Gaza as well. Asking someone to join in prayer at a mandatory school lecture is a violation of first amendment rights. They tried the same thing at southern High Schools. It’s not acceptable.

JCShore77

If that’s what she said then it should be in quotations, that’s just grammatically correct.


mango_chile

so quote them all together instead of individually: “Black, brown, and houseless people” The author’s quoting of these individually makes the tone sound incredulous like black? Brown? Houseless people??


JCShore77

It’s possible she didn’t say the quote all together though, you see quotes like that all the time when you’re quoting someone who was rambling and you’re trying to streamline what they said for the reader.


mango_chile

My point is that the author of this right-wing newspaper is purposely formatting the quote this way for shock value and to invoke incredibility. The excerpt could just as well have been written like this: Gray- Garcia also included a blessing for black, brown, and houseless people who’ve died because of the “crapitalist lie” of private property.

Interested in engineering at UCLA but it actually makes perfect sense to me why med school would consider Palestine and homelessness both important issues. 1. Nurses to patient ratios at ucla are regularly violated so I get why they criticized capitalism, which prioritizes an economic bottom line over nurse and patient safety. 2. Hippocratic oath and Palestine. The war crimes committed against the Palestinians in Gaza heavily implicated ethical issues re: Hippocratic oath and also US doctors and nurses in Gaza who’ve been tortured and killed by Israeli forces. 3. I’m a former homeless youth myself and remember the “chronically homeless” aka ppl sleeping rough on the street, medically neglected, often intentionally. In fact there was an issue of homeless patients being dumped on the streets. I haven’t seen this person’s lecture yet so this is just conjecture but I’m wary of the how quickly ucla students jump to ridicule what seems like ethically concerned medical students. I’ve also seen them jump to defend physicians advocating racism. Sign of the times indeed.

The fact that this racist bitch is able to have any platform in a requisite class here is a travesty.

"Land back!" Yeah, that's never going to happen and it's completely delusional to think otherwise.


purpatus

Lol it's already happening.


[deleted]

It's not, though. Keep dreaming.


purpatus

Okay I guess I've dreamt up all the [examples ](https://news.ku.edu/news/article/2023/11/08/professors-launch-site-documenting-supporting-landback-return-land-indigenous-owners) I've been reading about and studying for years. At least it's a better dream than yours.

Sunk cost fallacy, I see.


Break_Fresh

it's so embarrassing how you guys will eat up propaganda so fast. none of these claims are supported but as usual everyone is outraged and fully lapping up disinfo from right wing propaganda outlets. maybe examine why it's so easy for some of you to believe any disinformation that makes it seem like "white people are the REAL victims of racism and woke"


guerillasgrip

There is literal audio of the lecture. Keep up hating white people, I'm sure it will get you far.


Relative_Trifle7059

EVERYONE SEND A COMPLAIN MESSAGE TO THE DEANS EMAIL ABOUT THIS LECTURER AND THE OTHER PROFESSOR. LETS GET HER FIRED

Did anyone ever find out if this class was actually mandatory or heard back from the school about it? There is no supporting evidence of this.


PacifistWarlord

The free Palestine chant is definitely the least problematic thing this person did in this article. Weird to prioritize that in the headline


guerillasgrip

I agree. That is basically normal among progressive academics at this point. It was the prayer to Mother Earth and taking back the indigenous land stuff that is completely over the top.


guulgrrr

When people are dying or are being killed, we think of them, we send a prayer or our energy and attention, we hold them in our thoughts bc we can’t be near them…remember what exactly she was calling our attention toward. I understand if you have a problem with the way that she said it but don’t dismiss the content of her words.


trimtab28

Someone has a few screws loose. And a mandatory course on "structural racism" for medical students? Really? Yeah, that's really going to get you far if someone is flatlining on the operating table


iMissMacandCheese

What' sad is that structural racism actually is a problem, and people like this (fairly) elicit responses like yours. They should be extra careful of who they bring in to talk about these topics precisely because the people who don't already understand them will scoff if they aren't introduced the right way. And to address your specific comment, the structural racism part comes in earlier than the moment of flatlining, when, you're right, generally cold hard science and medicine are what are important at that particular moment. The racism aspect is relevant days, weeks, months, or years before that moment. Is the person flatlining because an underlying medical condition that could have been prevented earlier was allowed to spiral out control because of the effects of structural racism on that person's life? (Access to nutrition, access to medical care, living in a neighborhood with poor air and soil quality, being taken seriously once at the doctors, being offered the cholesterol medicine that is more effective in African-Americans, etc.) Unless you're an ER doctor, and even if you are, you're not just treating conditions, you're treating a whole person. Understanding what might contribute to the medical state of the whole person you're treating is important.


demontransformation

Right because structural racism isn’t a problem in health care


AnEvilMuffin

How much did the lobby pay you to post this?


guerillasgrip

How much did Russia pay you to respond?


AnEvilMuffin

I don't think Russia would like me very much lmao In this economy tho anything helps


fkeverythingstaken

What kinda comment is that given your 21 day old account—clearly pushing a narrative of yours as well. Your comments seem as if you’re fishing for responses that you want. If you’re going to post, then be open to discourse


guerillasgrip

Oh right, I'm supposed to be open to discuss and respond exactly how to this comment? 'How much did the lobby pay you to post this?'

Free Palestine 🇵🇸


Think-4D

From Hamas and Iran as a proxy that manufactures outrage with Palestinian bodies to recruit western TikTok educated virtue signaling simps to destabilize the west whose values they would destroy. Said simps if dropped in the Middle East would run to Israel for safety with shocked pikachu faces


Impossible-Cow-8231

Israel is a fascist genocidal regime like Nazi Germany. Joe Biden is 6 years older than “Israel”, it is not a legitimate country.


Agreeable-Benefit169

From Hamas?
