Members of the Massachusetts Congressional delegation such as U.S. Representative Jake Auchincloss (D-Newton), U.S. Representative Seth Moulton (D-Salem), and U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Cambridge) expressed their support for President Joe Biden's intentions of withdrawing all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021. However, U.S. Representative Stephen Lynch (D-South Boston) is not among them.
In a statement provided to NewBostonPost by his communications team on Wednesday afternoon, Lynch expressed his concerns with the target date:
If you're white and you go to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, you might not receive the same quality experience as a nonwhite patient.
Guided by critical race theory, the hospital may no longer use color-blind policies to try to treat everyone equally. A Boston Review article titled "An Antiracist Agenda for Medicine" lays out a pilot plan to "comprehensively confront structural racism" at the hospital. It is scheduled to begin late this spring.
