The corruption of our major educational facilities along with the medical professions proceeds. Yale is a dumpster fire of leftard political correctness combined with the spine of a jelly fish. Try to be a sane psychiatrist and sanity isn't a respected professional attribute. Take your kid to a recent Yale grad for some psychological issues and you would be better off calling in some random person from a list of area plumbers. I'm still astounded at how an institution like Yale will allow a small vocal minority to destroy a reputation built over centuries.

IT’S OFFICIAL: YALE IS THE WORST
Sally Satel
I think we can now confidently declare that Yale is the most disgraceful major university in America. On top of the shameful behavior of Yale Law’s Stasi-like diversicrats in the now famous “Trap House” student email, we have recently learned of the fuss about a lecture from Dr. Sally Satel to Yale’s School of Medicine several months ago, based on her extended time living in Ohio and studying the opioid crisis up close. (Sally was a guest on our podcast two years ago discussing her upcoming project. It should be noted that she’s been a long-time lecturer at the Yale Psychiatry department, and has also worked extensively at drug treatment clinics.)
Sally has long been a critic of how political correctness has been corrupting medicine, such as in her book PC MD. She’s also disputed the ubiquitous claims that disparate health outcomes among the races are the result of racism, in The Health Disparities Myth (co-authored with Jonathan Klick).
To paraphrase the old internet clickbait cliche, you’ll totally believe what happened next (because it is so predictable): A “concerned group of Yale Psychiatry residents” issued a letter of complaint. It uses the usual template of the Wokerati:
The language Dr. Satel used in her presentation was dehumanizing, demeaning, and classist toward individuals living in rural Ohio and for rural populations in general. Dr. Satel is known for her highly problematic and racist canon that explicitly blames individuals facing structural inequities for their own health outcomes. . .
We find her canon to be beyond a “difference of opinion” worth debate. Her racist and classist beliefs are particularly harmful to our psychiatric patients, who do indeed suffer from structural inequities, as well as our Black colleagues who also suffer from racism and have had family members die in the medical system because of inequitable treatment by providers. Many residents who have roots in rural America also expressed hurt by her elitist portrayal of Ohio as both foreign and lesser. For example, at one point in her speech, she describes an “artisanal coffee shop, one I would not expect to find here”.
The very title of her piece likens rural Ohio to traveling abroad, another theme we found offensive. While we do promote holding space for diverse opinions, dehumanization should never be given a platform in Yale Department of Psychiatry.
But the worst sin: Satel criticized Al Sharpton!
In another work titled “PC, M.D.” Dr. Satel even has the audacity to challenge Reverend Al Sharpton, an exemplary individual and activist. (Emphasis added.)
“An exemplary individual and activist”??? I’ll just put this out here: anyone who seeks out psychiatric help from any Yale graduate who signed this letter ought to have their head examined.
