I think schools need to be focusing on teaching students basic subjects and skills

Not with the new "equity" policies -- basics are racist and must go, especially math apparently.

Instead, the whole day's lessons are about Wokeness and White-shaming.

Communist China must be laughing their asses off.

Communist China isn't given to laughing, but they see these things going on in western institutions and they take careful notes for the next time America lectures them about something.

China more or less does whatever the fuck it wants, but it's undeniable that when people in the West point fingers at China's internet censorship or overreaching government control of... everything, the Chinese can point at things like the UK government's 'Online Harms Bill' or Silicon Valley's censorship of politically inconvenient media stories (like whatever Hunter Biden is currently up to) and be entirely justified by saying 'Well, yes. We do censor things. To keep people safe. But at least here the government is doing it, not capitalist corporations.'
