Political Correctness and new Wokeness at the elite high schools that gave us the varsity blues scandal

The per student public school funding, at least in our area of the Northeast, is extremely high and almost double the cost of a good parochial school or even equal to the cost of a good parochial prep school. The enrollment has been increasing at these schools partly because they remained open during the pandemic. They also tend to minimize politics in favor of teaching a traditional core curriculum, except of course in a civics or history class. I can’t remember even one time where the Franciscan nuns or Christian Brothers ever brought up politics in our Math or Science classes for any reason. I guess I am really old school but this whole thread would not be necessary if all schools did the same.
