If you search the text books for these classes and it includes terms such "white priviledge", "gender identity" or "Black Lives Matter" it is indoctrination.
So you would prefer the school shield students from timely topics of discussion in larger society?
That would be disingenuous and detrimental to goal of educating students for the real world.
The best case would be for classes to address these topics objectively (which is what they are doing), rather than avoid them altogether. It seems the mere presence of these words, regardless of context, imply indoctrination to you. Under that definition even a dictionary is indoctrination.

No, I would prefer they discuss relevant topics, not left-wing propaganda. I know you are a fan of Marxist indoctrination so you would support teaching propaganda.

I do agree with you that such one-sided views can exist in some courses.
I'll add that based on the feedback I've seen, people pursuing business or technology-related degrees don't seem to encounter many issues with far-left views being forcefully taught or with having their own views punished in conversations.
Here some Reddit comments:

Well, it is a relief to hear that some of this might be in my head. That is why I wanted to use you all as a sounding board just to see what the other classes look like. I think since mine are psychology classes, there’s a lot of emphasis on connecting psychology to systemic injustice, which gets me into a complicated gray area
Commenter
Mine is psychology, and I was taking a few classes on social sciences as well. It seemed like I was supposed to connect the themes in the class to democratic beliefs, such as systemic racism and oppression.

Idk, I am not afraid to admit I consider myself a conservative, but I am also understanding and accepting of all humans, and I've written quite a few papers. That being said, unless you're delusionally supporting Hitler or something crazy, I think you would be fine to argue for more conservative ideas and stick within your beliefs. I would even go as far to say some professors may appreciate a well written paper, successfully arguing for something they disagree with, and while most professors are liberal in the US, they all aren't.
Commenter
I took a Public Finance course centered around government rules and regulations which had a discussion post each week on conservative and liberal thoughts. There was a large majority with conservative beliefs— but they backed it up with reputable sources and got As. How I knew? You can review class averages on assignments under progress in brighstpace.

Cuts both ways, though, syllabi often include DEI as a core learning objective of the course because it’s required by accreditors. How much of it is actually in the course content, though can vary.

I have done 4 on campus degrees from a BS to a doctorate.
There is an insane leftist ideology that is present on every college campus. There is a reason why these people stay in academic world.
Even private RELIGIOUS liberal arts schools are not immune .Most of my sane peers saw how asinine their beliefs systems were but we all played the game. You kinda have to in Marxist environments such as this. Speak up? Hahahaha your grade will suffer. LOR? Hahahahah, good luck with that.
Any dissent will be punished. My first degree was in 2011, it has gotten exponentially worse since then.

Keep in mind, the person speaking is an *adjunct* professor. This is most likely someone hired (as most online universities do) to teach a course or two on an occasinoal, contract basis.
Based on my experience, the adjuncts at these schools often know little, if anything, about organizational policy, and ae pretty much never qualified spokespeople who can speak with any authority about school policy.
In my opinion, this is much ado about nothing.
