Woke Vs. STEM

Here is a math professor's critique of what is happening in our "education" system:

Unlike the traditional totalitarianism practiced by former communist countries, like the Romania I grew up in, this version is soft. It enforces its ideology not by jailing dissenters or physically eliminating them, but by social shaming, mob punishment, guilt by association, and coerced speech.

When it comes to education, I believe the woke ideology is even more harmful than old-fashioned communism.

I cannot tell you what all this nonsense will ultimately accomplish, but it almost certainly will prevent our children from successfully competing with their counterparts from countries such as China and India. That may not bother you, but if we had a STEM deficiency before, it's only going to get worse.
