My CSU was real heavy-handed on the "white privilege" and "male privilege" BS even back when I was there. Probably hasn't got any better. My wife is teaching there now, but she's teaching biology and research technical writing classes, so there's not much wokeness to hear about in that regard.
I remember it came down to deciding if you REALLY felt like arguing with the dumb stuff out of the professor's mouth, or not saying anything and getting done early. Most of us preferred to get done early and the people that wanted to sit there and challenge all the dumb stuff out of a woke professor's mouth pretty much just made it harder for us to get our asses out of class fast each day while not changing the professor's mind one bit.
One time my grade dropped from a B+ to a D+ (need at least a C- to pass) on the last day of final presentations. The professor liked my presentation and said so, but then someone else presented and mentioned something along the lines of the black panthers being responsible for deaths. She immediately interrupted their presentation with a terse "thatwasneverproven!" I was young and dumb and called her out on it. "Woah woah! You mean to tell us that THE black panthers, who prided themselves on intimidation and bringing loaded guns to protests, NEVER killed anyone? Like.. ever? A couple of other students chimed in supporting me, and she repeated nothing was ever proven, and then brought up the next presenters. When final grades were posted a day or two later, I had a D-. I went to protest my grade with the department and they told me I couldn't.
"Why not?"
"The professor needs to be present to defend their decision on grading you."
"Great, set it up, I don't mind"
"We can't, she was fired."
"What?"
"We let her go, so she can't appear."
"..and that doesn't seem like a good reason to take a closer look at my complaint?"
"no"
From then on I hated the bureaucracy of that school. This was early in their founding, so supposedly they have changed, but they basically wasted a semester of my life with that BS.
