Miller grills med-school deans over biology basics at DEI hearing

During a House Education and Workforce Committee hearing on DEI in medical schools, Rep. Mary Miller pressed deans from UCLA and UCSF on basic biology questions about pregnancy and gender terminology, including whether a non-biological woman can have a baby. The deans avoided direct yes-or-no answers, arguing terminology reflects patient diversity while acknowledging biology. Miller criticized DEI-driven curricula and pressed whether medical schools teach biology, arguing the sessions exposed what she calls political activism in medical education and urging science-based standards over ideological shifts.
