We have previously discussed schools such as Harvard, Yale, and even courts removing portraits of white people in the name of inclusivity despite complaints that the left is engaging in its own form of racism. The media as praised these efforts and, in one case, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow spurred Rockefeller University to change what she derided as the “Dude Wall.” Now Canada’s Dalhousie University Medical School has joined these ranks in ordering the removal of former “old” and “white” deans in a campaign to “put people first” … with some obvious exceptions.
Dean of Medicine David Anderson announced the portrait cleansing in a message as part of the school’s “Valuing People” initiative. He declared that showing former white deans was inimical to “creating positive, safe, and inclusive environments for people to thrive.”
He claimed that the appearance of white people in the portraits make students feel unwelcomed and “dominated by senior male white leaders.” In other words, their race was viewed as interfering with maintaining a healthy and friendly environment.
This exclusion was all done in the name of inclusion, part of the Orwellian logic of today’s culture in higher education.
What is lost is the history of the institution and the recognition of those who built the medical school regardless of their race. Whatever they may have done for the school has been now superseded by their race and gender. As greater gender and racial diversity is achieved, those portraits show an institutional progression that is reflective of a changing society and profession.
There goes one more profession down the tubes when insurance companies get tired of being sued for incompetent surgeries.

Yes, erasing history. It is sincerely hoped someone has saved the books as the dark ages approach. Surely no one would give the brutes originals.
The image is finding an ancient Greek bust from the Getty museum at a flea market. Keep eyes peeled for documents.

Yes, history. The history of Dalhousie goes back to 1770, Roger Ramsay, 9th Earl of Dalhousie, Scottish and British North America .
No doubt women expressed their discomfort. A full course load is no longer a requirement. Dalhousie values the differing educations of applicants.

These portraits go back in history to what year? These may be beautiful portraits. English portraiture? Now this is upsetting.
Carnegie and Rockefeller helped develop Dalhousie
Perhaps someone has stolen the portraits? The Dean is making shit up? Ask where they’re stored.

Wonderful history of Dalhousie at a brief scan going back to the Dalhousie castle 8 miles south of Edinburgh. It goes back to the 13th century when Ramsay was General Ramsay and governor of British colonies in Canada. The 17th Earl of Dalhousie is George? Ramsay. A continuous line existing today. The current Ramsay, Earl of Dalhousie is a peer. Dalhousie castle was visited by Mary Queen of Scots and sir Walter Scot. The castle has been converted to a hotel on the River Esk in Scotland. The current Earl attends royal functions.
Yes, I’d want to see the portraits.
Thank you professor for the history that makes some reportedly uncomfortable.
It is very concerning to think of what care the artworks , history and archives of Harvard, Yale and other historical universities are receiving. Early American and British portraiture is the story.
BY WHOM WERE THE PORTRAITS STOLEN!
*LORETTA
😂 silly…I was spitballing. No museum puts originals on display ha ha ha. Gotcha!
Mystery novels…
If government statistics are used to help minorities, then they should be used to help whites, too. Equal protection, right?
White males are not people?
Not any more. We are just called “taxpayers”.
If I or a relative were one of those leaders being removed, I’d be happy. Dalhousie is clearly on the decline, like large eastern and midwestern American cities in the late 60s. The crapshow to come for Dalhousie is being built right now by the morons in charge there now, the old Dalhousie, a symbol of excellence is no longer.
Every person and institution the left infect turns to $hit, every single one. The left is a cancer that must be excised, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, or else.
Want loyalty get a dog, there’s no loyalty among thieves or communists.
Race is just one tool.

“Crazy Abe” removed one million Americans in the name of inclusivity, after nullifying and voiding the Constitution through his brilliant, unassailable conclusion that because secession is not prohibited, secession is prohibited.

Perhaps find some photos of the deans as younger men and airbrush them to change their faces o different “colors.” Or have one or two identify as women and/or a member of some minority group. Such steps would be no more fake than removing current photos of current deans!
So Dalhousie is posting pictures of witch doctors, shamans, faith healers, quacks and mountebanks?
That’s funny.
