No wonder public high school graduates can't read, write or find Chicago on a map. They have much more important things to concentrate on.
And with this, you bring up an additional point I neglected to mention. Discussing these issues in school is a tremendous time suck. And what the blazes is "queer math"? Do they mean to suggest that gay students cannot learn math without reference to gay themes? Or that straight students cannot learn old fashioned tolerance and kindness while learning standard equations? This is silly, and even insulting.
