That’s why you never see a conservative government acting on anything. The social values of conservative MPs that people elect are basically the same as of labour voters. If they were different then we’d see reforms.

79% of Top Medical Schools Require All Hiring Committees Receive "Unconscious Bias" Training or Include "Equity Advisors"

"Forty-four percent of medical schools have tenure and promotion policies that reward scholarship on “diversity, inclusion, and equity.” Seventy percent make students take a course on “diversity, inclusion, or cultural competence.” And 79 percent require that all hiring committees receive “unconscious bias” training or include “equity advisors”—people whose job it is to ensure diversity among the faculty."
