You know what, I'm starting to think that wokies care more about perceived racism than they do about being actual good human beings.
You know how hospitals are required to report when a baby is born addicted to drugs because mama used drugs during pregnancy? Well, the largest hospital system in Massachusetts is putting an end to that practice and you'll never guess why.
They say reporting babies born addicted to drugs is racist because it's disproportionately black children who are impacted by the rule.
So because there's a statistic they don't like, they'll now let drug addicts keep kids in dangerous situations.
Mass General Brigham, the state's largest hospital network, is joining Boston Medical Center in revising its policy. Now, instead of relying on an infant's blood test results, hospital staff will only report a baby to state investigators if there's concern about an imminent risk of abuse or neglect ...
Black babies are more likely to be reported as victims of abuse, therefore they are changing the definition of abuse, excluding drugs in their system, to achieve an equitable outcome.
This is a perfect example of the meme.
No one who changes policies like this cares about the kids.
Black kids can die and that's okay with them as long as we pretend the problem doesn't exist.
More from City-Journal:
Representatives of the Mass General Brigham administration's "United Against Racism" initiative found that "Black pregnant people are more likely to be drug tested and to be reported to child welfare systems than white pregnant people." As a result, the hospital will "update policies that automatically trigger mandatory filings with child welfare agencies when a pregnant individual is engaged in treatment for substance use disorder, absent any other concerns for potential abuse or neglect ..."
But here's the kicker. The new policy says that reports "after delivery should be filed only if there is reasonable cause to believe that the infant is suffering or at imminent risk of suffering physical or emotional injury." Evidence of injury or of imminent risk of injury is a very high bar; setting it so high will invite considerable trouble. What does "imminent risk" mean in this context? Does it mean that you can only report a mother who is high when she leaves the hospital and forgets to put the baby in a car seat, and who is so out of sorts that she won't remember how or when to feed the baby?
Needless to say, this rule only serves to put babies in danger.
