Decolonization is widely used for much more than simply unwinding European colonialism: It's also invoked when teachers object to simply teaching kids math (because the curriculum and terms are European/Euro-descended American in origin), desperately trying to find a way to teach evolution without Darwin because he's an old white Euro man, and so on. Invariably, "decolonizing" a subject means systematically booting white authors out, or pivoting from teaching the subject matter plain and simple to teaching ideology and relativizing everything because Heaven forbid a minority kid would feel bad (which itself is mostly just an excuse)
