Boston, MA - So, another one bites the dust. Leen Ezzeddine, fresh out of Harvard Medical School, decided her graduation speech was the perfect opportunity to lecture everyone about the oh-so-trendy causes of Palestine and Lebanon. Because, you know, Hippocrates is rolling in his grave wondering why we're not focusing on checks notes... international politics at a medical school graduation.

Let's be real. This isn't about medicine or healing. It's about virtue signaling to the woke mob. It's about scoring social justice points with the blue-haired Twitterati. It's about demonstrating your commitment to the “right” causes, even if those causes have absolutely nothing to do with the reason you were given a platform in the first place. She could have talked about advances in cancer research, innovative surgical techniques, or, you know, literally ANYTHING related to medicine. But no, gotta grandstand about geopolitics at a medical graduation. Big brain time.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Complex, nuanced, and spanning decades? Nah, let's just paint Israel as the bad guy and call it a day. Lebanon's economic woes? Tragic, sure, but hardly the burning issue facing the graduating class of future doctors. But hey, who needs actual solutions when you can just wave a social justice flag and feel good about yourself?

Harvard, of course, will do absolutely nothing. They're too busy bending over backwards to appease the woke crowd. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has become the new religion, and dissenting voices are swiftly silenced. Remember when universities were about academic freedom and the pursuit of truth? Good times. Good times.

So, congrats, Leen. You played the game. You got the applause from the right crowd. Now, let’s see if you can actually, you know, practice medicine without injecting your politics into every single patient interaction. Don't hold your breath.

The question is, how long until medical oaths include a mandatory clause about intersectionality and decolonizing healthcare? I give it six months. Place your bets.

This is why nobody trusts institutions anymore. This is why people are losing faith in the elites. Because they're more interested in virtue signaling than actually doing their jobs. They're more concerned with impressing their fellow elites than serving the public.

So here's a thought: maybe, just maybe, graduates should focus on the field they're actually graduating in. Novel concept, I know. Instead, it's another opportunity to perform wokeness for the cameras. Clown world, indeed.

I for one, am shocked, shocked to find that a medical school graduate would use her platform to spout political opinions. Next thing you know, they'll be protesting pipelines between surgeries. Get back to doctoring, leave the geopolitical nonsense to the politicians. It's all so tiresome.

Maybe someday, graduation speeches will be about actual accomplishments and the pursuit of knowledge, not just vehicles for woke posturing. Until then, I'll be over here refreshing Libs of TikTok and waiting for the next meltdown. It's inevitable.
