Umm asks

Do you think that a school system acknowledging the fact that a child could have two daddies means that they aren't teaching STEM subjects in schools?
Do you think that a school system acknowledging the fact that a child can be born with confusing genitalia, or a sexual preference that does not match their given genitalia means that STEM subjects are not being taught in schools?
Do you think that a school system acknowledging the fact that there is a pattern of systemic racism in our justice system means that they are not teaching STEM subjects in schools?

MY unnuanced answer to all three questions is NO.

A separate question is whether a school should be "teaching" about confusing genitalia over the local parents objections. That answer is also No. An anecdote soon-to-be-dismissed, there was recent interview with a parent about a school in main giving a chest binder to their female daughter. The so-called guidance counselor also explained to the student, I am not going to tell your parents about this and my advice is that you don't either.

Concerning slavery and racism. It is about how it is taught. Slavery occurred and is a terrible part of of our history. Racism still exists in many ways. OK so far. Much progress has been made - seldom mentioned. White people are privileged and POC can't get ahead because of your skin color sows division and is not helpful in improving society.

Flame aay....
