Your last (edit: second-to-last) paragraph is the first time in this whole conversation that I get what you guys are talking about. I think you are misreading the document. It says that "there is only one right way" is a trope frequently used by white supremacist philosophies, not that the presence of that trope implies the presence of white supremacist philosophies. I feel like getting hung up on this is just silly and overly "snowflaky", when the document as a whole has so many great suggestions on how to be a better teacher.
One other important comment:
> But for everyone else that's a lot of explanation without firepower.
This is a deeply wrong idea that leads to poorly skilled engineers and scientists and I would die on this hill. You are giving your students too little credit if you think they would not be interested when this is taught properly (e.g. by following the instructions in this document). This is exactly the firepower you need to have exceptional skills.
