“Woke” and “Anti-Woke” are two sides of the same idiotic coin—you won’t be reading classics in either place. Neither side wants you to actually learn how to think for yourself, they both just want adherence to their ideology.
I'm not trying to both-sides this at all, I'd just caution the woke side to keep in mind that it's easy to veer off in a crazy direction if it keeps on going, and this is coming from a strong leftist First Amendment point of view.
You seem to have a higher tolerance than most who care to pay attention.
There's plenty of evidence crazy is mainstreaming in legacy school boards and among influential university professors. At least for those who appreciate talent and measurable outcomes, not naive and idealistic "let's make everyone equally mediocre" approach.
IMO, as a Canadian, the fact a single US state (Florida) is engaging in the inversely crazy radical-right response in education - similarly using banning and ideology to silence dissent and push their own weird versions - doesn't really do much to counter the mountain pushing back against meritocracy and talent in the last decade. The trend in the rest of the western world is very apparent once you view US national-level politics in a realistic real-world context.
You could justifiably argue there's plenty of dominant rhetoric in national US politics/media (and related global media which feeds off the US) to balance the narratives, maybe even argue it's more fundamentally centrist than either/or. But in the real practical world of education (and HR/private employment, journalism, health care, movies/TV, etc) there really is no comparison of ideological cultural impact and high-risk experimental adjustment going on.
