All you have to know is this. Your with a student talking about racism whether they are racist or not. That person is already dead or is blessed with a family that is wealthy.
Also you have to understand there are things being done to various groups of people, gender, and blah blah. It is important but not the end of the world.
Exactly. So who's the snowflake in this situation?
I've mentioned the deleterious effects of SJW dogma as it makes its way into public policy, not just its deleterious effects on higher education. Did you forget that part? I'm starting to wonder if I'm debating some geriatrics who haven't been in a college classroom in many years and whose short-term memories are fading.
Someone who has been forced out of his hard-science cocoon and made to demonstrate competency in studies of the arts, of history, of the social sciences. That's what it means to hold a bachelor's degree.
If someone is majoring in one of the hard sciences, taking extra classes in the arts, history, or social sciences seem like a waste of time and money. Because you're most likely not going to use what you've learned in those classes in a career in a science field.

You need those so you can talk to marketing and purchasing and finance because there is no chance in double toothpicks that they will learn how to talk to you.

If someone took your advice, that student is probably unlikely to do well in a job interview and can't think beyond his/her own field.
Fortunately we have breadth requirements in school.
You really need to put more thought into your replies. In one sentence, you argue that students are in college to be exposed to new ideas. In another, you argue that they're there "to get a degree to help you get a job." Would you like to pick one definitive answer and get back to us?
The only folks on public university campuses these days demanding that they not be exposed to ideas they don't like are SJWs. This is why they push for speech restrictions and penalties for those who deviate from SJW orthodoxy. What do you think about speech codes? I take it you must vociferously object to these codes, given what you've written?
"Political agendas" have no place in the classroom. Period. This is why you should object to any teacher who uses the classroom as a platform to advance an ideology rather than teach.
I was there to get my degrees, not to object to teachers. Frankly didn't care about the professors at all, in the since that my only objective was to graduate, and I did that twice.
Apparently you have no degree, and are a right wing activists. That's your choice if you want to live like that.
