The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that President Donald Trump can terminate millions of dollars in bogus health “research.”
The woke “research” was geared toward far-left “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) initiatives.
The 5-4 ruling is a victory in Trump’s effort to restore integrity to health science, which in recent years has come under attack from woke ideology.
The court was split down the middle, with Chief Justice John Roberts, a conservative, siding with the liberal minority.
The case centers on $783 million in National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant funding that the Trump administration cut earlier this year.
The funding was being spent on pseudoscientific, wasteful projects at odds with Trump’s priorities.
The projects covered by the grants included a study on “Buddhism and HIV stigma in Thailand,” “intersectional, multilevel and multidimensional structural racism for English- and Spanish-speaking populations,” and “anti-racist healing in nature to protect telomeres of transitional age BIPOC for health equity.”
The administration’s cuts sparked furious backlash from Democrats.
However, the Democrats are falsely claiming that the White House was targeting critical, life-saving research.
In June, a district judge appointed by Ronald Reagan issued a bizarre, emotionally charged ruling that ordered the government to discharge the funding.
