I'm not surprised. Engineering and Computer Science students don't care much for LGXYXZ ideology.

In an article for the Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies, academics from Oregon State University wrote about their shock at receiving sarcasm and mockery in response to their research into undergraduate LGBTQ students studying in STEM fields.
...
According to the article, when the "malicious" subjects were asked to fill out demographic data, "12 respondents (24%) indicated their gender as being related to a helicopter or aircraft" ranging from an "Apache Attack Helicopter" to a "V22 osprey." In the section declaring one’s disabilities, responses ranged from claiming to be "illiterate" to lamenting "My country is run by communists," or even declaring that identifying as transgender is a disability in itself due to "the inability to come to terms with biological reality."
...
The research team declared that the mockery they received "had a profound impact on morale and mental health," particularly for one transgender researcher who was "already in therapy for anxiety and depression regarding online anti-trans rhetoric." The paper claimed that "managing the study’s data collection caused significant personal distress, and time had to be taken off the project to heal from traumatic harm" of having to read students' responses in the survey.
As my wife often says, "Boo fucking hoo."

The team claimed 50 of 349 responses to their questionnaire on the topic contained "slurs, hate speech, or direct targeting of the research team."
[...]
Other responses to questions about identity rejected the researchers’ project entirely, with answers such as "My skin color is not important," "Come on man, these questions are stupid. Everyone is a grab bag of genetics from all over the world," and "What else do you want to know? What I ate for breakfast. [T]his question is unnecessary."
It would have been more satisfying to have seen closer to 349 responses similar to the responses in the second quoted paragraph.

STEM. The source of all our survival. The smartest and best of our people who keep all the rest of us alive. Not surprising they are the ones most rejecting woke lunacy. And now they're being targeted. "We must indoctrinate STEM!" this article says. Because they're "Fascist". Because their fascism is white supremacy and is what begat the U.S. of A. which is an evil racist nation and must be destroyed. Let us destroy the thing that brought the human species out of poverty, disease and starvation and into the modern world where more people live more safely and comfortably than ever in the history of mankind.
Fucking idiots.
The irony is that they, the woke left, are the actual fascists.

Even worse, some schools are creating STEAM programs. A for arts. Can't focus on technology... because the artists feel left out. And of course for diversity. Stupid.

Fine Arts proponents like Ruth Catchen, believe that the arts can serve as an on-ramp to STEM for underrepresented students. She sees arts activities as a way to offer more diverse learning and to increase motivation and the probability of STEM success.
