The world doesn't run on "well-meaning" but realpolitik (look it up). The sort of discriminatory policies you espouse besides being corrosive poison to the unifying forces that create a nation state, fail to account for competition among nations.

The USA is free to teach CRT to kids, "decolonize mathematics", destroy meritocracy in public schools, lower the standards and burden young minds with race guilt and a feeling of entitlement (instead of striving for excellence) but one shouldn't be surprised if other countries that have maintained their connection with reality leave us in the dust.

If you're not convinced, history is full of examples of ideology-driven politics leading to disaster : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysenkoism

From what I’ve seen so far, the racism in math curriculums are mostly about misattribution and credit theft.

This is easy to correct and should be corrected in 2021 and onward, but the extreme left somehow dialed things to 11.

I have a feeling it won't be dialed down, but dialed up to 12. There was an awesome cartoon that I can't find anymore - two VW busses side by side. One with a bunch of classic progressive stickers - "Liberty", "Civil Rights", "ACLU", "Free Speech", "EPA", etc. Another one that's beaten up, with "Race", "CRT", "Hate", etc. representing contemporary progressivism.

It’s crazy. I had a lot of respect for the ACLU, but the days where they stood for something; and everyone could point to the principles and at least begrudgingly admire it are long gone.
