Sign up and take a recording device to each class. When the course is over or you think it's safe post everything online. If these people are going to push this garbage, especially when heavily subsidized by taxpayers, they need to be exposed.

It used to be a matter of ethics that teachers keep their personals politics out of the classroom and never use their platform to brainwash young minds into the teacher's own political camp. In the last few years though, that ethical boundary seems to have disappeared, so it's going to be need to be made into law. As far as I'm concerned, they can make it a capital offense to brainwash kids politically.
People have no class or shame these days. Morals and ethics are right out the window in todays instagram/tik tok/social media world where everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame. These people would have been lobotomized a few decades ago.
I'm curious as to what the difference is between mathematics done by men and mathematics done by women/visible minorities. Isn't math supposed to be a universal thing, unchanging no matter who's studying it? And what do they mean when they say mathematics draws "dominantly on the experiences and narratives of men"? The only thing it draws on is the experience of numbers, no?
I studied in a STEM field and the growing obsession with giving an unfair chance to minority and women is one of the toxic point that had me leave academia. There are so many more grants, opportunity for talks, collaboration, subsidized research for women and minorities - and the outcome is that we select a disproportionate amount from a group that has no specifically selected trait for success. This will lead to lower quality science and other countries that actually fund good (and not "equal") science will come out ahead (think China). Scientific knowledge has no morals and painting brilliant scientists as ethical leaders of our society gives them a burder slowing down the output of knowledge too.
