It's time to discuss a point academics do not understand when dealing with woke professors. STEM people listen up:
The woke are not trying to intellectually defeat you with arguments and evidence, they are trying to socially replace you with power plays and social moves.

The woke person looks at the university and says "I can change the college the hard way - by proving my ideas and convincing all the other professor- or I can do it the easy way by just making sure only woke professors get hired and trying to get non woke professors fired"

You see, the woke person has a different way of what we call "settling differences."
In academia when to professors disagree over what should be taught the differences are settled by examining the evidence and attempting to settle the issue by seeing who has the best argument

however, when a woke person disagrees with you over what should be taught, the woke person tries to make sure the wokeness gets taught BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. That includes getting people fired, changing institutional rules, threatening a persons reputation or anything else.

The woke see everything as a do or die senario. The woke person thinks "I can't debate this non-woke person and take the chance that someone might be duped by them into rejecting wokeness. Therefore I won't risk debating them and I will do ANYTHING to stop them."

See how this works? Now, there is a sophisticated worldview the undergirds woke reasoning. We can't get into it too much here, but the result is that wokies have generally accepted a pair of ideas that when taken together are an absolute poison.

The woke have accepted that:
1."philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways, the point is to change it." (Karl Marx)
2. “An activist produces power and policy change, not mental change.” (Ibram Kendi in How to be an Anti-racist)
The goal is change, not truth

At the end of the day the woke person is going to dismiss whatever evidence or argument you come up with as just you being biased, and they think getting rid of non-woke professors is a life or death mission.
