Some people will only be happy when anything resembling a left-wing point of view is removed from education and the media.
Some of the "ism" culture war teaching in academia is indeed trite and silly.
But it's far less silly than Fox News and the entire right-wing media machinery - which most recently somehow managed to persuade tens of millions of Americans that a valid election was stolen, that Covid is a hoax, and attacking your own political representatives is a valid expression of democracy.
Honestly, compared to that having to pay attention to pronouns or learn something about black history is a complete non-issue.
