It's a bit hard to study history without going over race. Or reading, writing, and civics, and at least the people involved in math and science, without mentioning gender.
Well, on second thought, it would be a lot easier. Which it probably shouldn't be.
This isn't a new issue; people have been decrying the bad influences of popular phenomena (music, beliefs, speech, what-have-you) forever. But there are a lot of excessive views on it in the media. Many of the things people worry about just aren't actually taking place.
Religion doesn't belong in government schools, other than the influence of the various churches on history. Parochial schools can set their own agenda on that. Gender studies has its place as part of Social Studies but not as a separate subject on its own. CRT and BLM are absolutely part of political science and modern history, nothing "woke" about it. Again, dot points and not separate subjects. A lot of this stuff should fall to the parents, ESPECIALLY sex ed, but too few parents these days either care enough or are prepared to make the time. It's stuff kids need to know about, and picking it up from their friends or the media is the worst way to do that.

Gender Studies has absolutely nothing to do with drag queens and you know it. Are you deliberately distorting the issue with irrelevancies? Reactionary school boards can also be a problem, the truth about the Civil War wasn't taught in southern schools for almost a century after the war ended. There's your CRT and the seeds of BLM as well. Children who have one of both parents in a same-sex relationship shouldn't be ostracised or bullied either, neither should teens who identify as LGBTQI. Gender studies goes some way towards eliminating that. If you had home schooled children, they'd get the information anyway - a distorted view from the internet. Forget parental controls, my 7yo grandson can get around those. A parent can't police that 24/7.
