Fortunately for us, STEM directed students simply do not get exposed to any of this. On the other hand, only 18 percent of granted degrees are STEM. That clearly means that we have another small sub section involved in what we know as the classic liberal arts of English, languages and History in particular. All those are ultimately directed toward teaching. Then we also have another minority taste in the form of archeology, anthropology, economics et al which have become steadily more rigorous.
These are all honors programs at the least and end markets for these skills are traditionally weak.
None of these encourage socialist studies, nor should they. Yet the teachers cannot help but be powerfully influenced by colleagues peddling a socialist curricula in the rest of the student body itself which is likely two thirds of al undergrad enrollees.

It is very hard to get the best out of our students, but we actually need to. Allowing the production of a large body of students not able to complete an honors program is actually a bad idea in practice. At the least, all general programs should automatically include an education elective or alternately a two year trade apprenticeship all with the possibility to upgrade to an honors program. Sooner or later most honors students will be mature students with real trade and or teaching skills and highly valuable to the employment market.
Obviously the whole Progressive cum Socialist cum Marxist MEME for dummies now been peddled actually needs to be shut down forever.

Yes, College Professors Are Almost All Left-Wing
Sean Stevens of Heterodox Academy and Professor Mitchell Langbert of Brooklyn College have a new article
published by the National Association of Scholars. They examined
professors' self-identified political views, party affiliation, voter
registrations, and FEC (Federal Election Commission) records of
political donations. Their research appears to confirm that college
professors in fact skew overwhelmingly left-wing in their political
views, even more than many of us thought. If they are even mostly
correct, the (left) liberal professor stereotype is absolutely grounded
in reality rather than caricature.
Professor Langbert writes:

Sean Stevens and I have been working on a study of 12,372 professors in the two leading private and two leading public colleges in 31 states (incl. DC) that make registration public (mostly closed-primary states). The National Association of Scholars has posted our initial findings on their blog. We cross-checked the registration against the political donations. For party registration, we find a D:R ratio of 8.5:1, which varies by rank of institution and region. For federal donations (from the FEC data base) we find a D:R ratio of 95:1, with only 22 Republican donors (compared to 2,081 Democratic donors) out of 12,372 professors. Federal donations among all categories of party registration, including Republican, favor the Democrats: D:R donation ratios for Democratic-registered professors are 251:1; for Republican-registered professors 4.6:1; for minor-party-registered professors 10:0; for unaffiliated professors 50:1; for non-registered professors 105:1. We include a school-by-school table that facilitates comparisons.These ongoing revelations about the reality of higher education in the US should give pause to every parent writing big checks for elite school tuition so Johnny or Jenny can fulfill their dreams. Think twice before blindly sending your children (or yourself) to ideological indoctrination centers. A university education may well be worthwhile, but only if students and parents alike have their eyes wide open.
