The bill as you’ve described appears to address overt manifestations of DEI in medical schools. It’s a start….and it should be broadened to include all post secondary institutions and all programs therein. And absolutely, threatening funding is the only logic these woke folk seem to understand.

However, I don’t think you can legislate away the soft pedalling and covert existence of some of these ideas. As you say, they won’t be able to chant that idiocy but they can still teach it. For the culture to truly change (and for the curriculum to reflect that) will take time as societal values slowly permeate the thick walls of the ivory towers and the thick skulls of the folks who frequent them.
I’m apprehensive of the next few years when we will start to see members of the leading edge of the Gen Z cohort enter fellowship training (which is generally where I interact with trainees). I’ll get to see first hand the work-product of modern day med schools.
