Not sure how things are in the UK, but in the US, this is pretty much spot on. You'll see all sorts of curriculum pop up from grade school through universities to "teach" the SJW topic du jour. If Europe hasn't gone in this direction, well, that's probably why Europeans are so much better educated than Americans.
It's gone so far that the SF school board is more worried about names of their schools named after American greats than they are re-opening schools (which have been closed in California since March).

- foldr 6y agoIsn’t this just a generic rant about so-called SJWs etc. etc.? I can assure you that US universities aren’t defunding or closing their math departments in order to add more humanities courses about hot social issues. You may not like what some professors choose to teach, but a quick glance at the numbers will show you that, if anything, everyone else is being sacrificed on the altar of STEM, not vice versa. Your second paragraph is about schools, not universities, and I can’t see how it’s at all relevant to this discussion.
