inclusion (DEI) consultant to revise its nursing program.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Nursing at Elmhurst University received a $25,000 grant to hire the consultant to \u201censure its Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) curriculum fully integrates diversity, equity and inclusion concepts,\u201d the university said in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmhurst.edu\/news\/nursing-department-wins-25000-grant-to-evaluate-dei-in-curriculum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Becky Hulett, director of the school\u2019s MSN and Doctor of Nursing Practice programs, said in the press release that the grant would \u201chelp us come up with the concepts we want to measure in our curriculum, how to measure those concepts, then integrate them into our curriculum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re hoping to get people more comfortable talking and learning about the intersectionality of our lives and society,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>The grant came from the Healing Illinois initiative, which the state <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.state.il.us\/page.aspx?item=128229\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">describes<\/a> as a program \u201cdesigned to support communities across Illinois to begin or continue the work of racial healing in their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ongoing oppressive and structural tactics that uphold systemic racism and inequities highlight the need for racial healing, and the need to address the underlying systems that have created the conditions where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-seems-unlikely-to-support-reduced-sentences-for-crack-offenders\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Seems Unlikely to Support Reduced Sentences for Crack Offenders\">vast racial disparities<\/a> are allowed to exist,\u201d the website for the program says. \u201cAs we move ahead with the work of systemic change, we must also lay the groundwork for community healing, acknowledging the harm done to communities of color and providing the space for healing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Healing Illinois program is set to give out up to $4.5 million in grants to promote \u201cracial healing activities.\u201d The program lists four \u201cmajor goals\u201d for the initiative:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Build knowledge and understanding of racial healing and equity in communities across the state<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Strengthen trust and relationship building, among the residents of Illinois<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Expand opportunities for communities and individuals to begin to heal from the harms caused by racism<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Increase awareness and media engagement focused on racial healing and equity<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Laura Morgan, a retired nurse who works for the non-profit Do No Harm, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecollegefix.com\/illinois-university-nursing-program-gets-racial-healing-grant-for-dei-curriculum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> The College Fix that Elmhurst\u2019s announcement was \u201cdisappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile it\u2019s not surprising to see this type of indoctrination happening in an Illinois university, it\u2019s still disappointing, especially when a private university is accepting public funds to support it,\u201d Morgan told the outlet.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\"

APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Morgan also said that \u201c[w]hile several states have taken measures to remove DEI from their institutions of higher education, Illinois continues to plunge headlong into institutionalizing divisive race-based ideology through its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-age-appropriate-library-restrictions-are-not-book-bans\/\" title=\"No, Age-Appropriate Library Restrictions Are Not \u2018Book Bans\u2019\">taxpayer-funded entities<\/a> like the Department of Human Services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also criticized the program for having little to do with nursing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis grant contains all the well-worn language about systemic racism and inequity and seeks to create \u2018racial healing practitioners.\u2019 This is not nursing; it\u2019s engaging in radical initiatives that seek to create social justice activists rather than nursing leaders,\u201d she told the
