Does this actually exist, though, beyond within the imaginations of a handful of people on the far right?

That first link is amazing. As far as I can tell, it has essentially nothing to do with math. One could search-and-replace to change math to any other field and get an equally valid paper.

Granted that stuff like that exists. What I question is whether teachers are actually being taught and accepting this in any sort of meaningful numbers, rather than simply existing as a handful of isolated publications that are largely ignored; do you know how widespread that is?

Given the story we're discussing here, evidently it (or at the very least some equally screwed-up mentality) does?

It absolutely exists. Insane books like “White Fragility” didn’t come out of nowhere. There are whole academic departments in universities coming up with the underlying ideas.
If it comes across that these equity programs are anti-white and anti-Asian it’s because the underlying ideology expressly is those things. Everything revolves around whites as the oppressors, and Asians (and sometimes Jews) figure in only insofar as they “help uphold white supremacy.”
