If we are to believe the other content from their colleagues, "systemic racism" is not necessarily what the common man would define as racist like you're suggesting which hasn't been explicitly legally allowed (more the opposite) for decades in all first-world countries I'm aware of, but almost anything whatsoever -- no matter how intentional or not.

According to some of these teaching guides, the first one recommended by State Depts. of Education, things such as the concept of grading work, expecting assignments to be turned in, etc. All are "systemic" (common features of the learning system), and now "racist", therefore "systemic racism". That's the "beauty" of their way of writing. It can mean anything they want at anytime, and is framed in such a way that calling them out automatically "undermines" (to use your term) yourself for investigating their gelatinous word-soup common in their writing. Even asking questions about it you find yourself Kafkatrapped.

"We are pro-good, anti-bad. What kind of person would you need to be to even ask questions about it in the first place in this day and age. Wow, really says a lot about you. Be better and do the work." That's just gossip, moralizing, shaming, all dressed-up and using the shield of academicism. It shares many characteristics with religion from a century or two ago, certainly its tribalism and fervor.
