When ultra-MAGA Trumpublicans or white Christian nationalists are hell-bent to censor any math educator or publisher who dares to expose the whitewashing of math or math education throughout history, because allowing them to right any past mathematical wrongs or injustices committed by colonialists or imperialists would lay bare their selfish attempts to brainwash millions of children that the evolution of mathematical ideas is a white people’s contribution.
White supremacist or extremist math educators label mathematicians and math educators, who question the distorted or fake view of the history of mathematics, or who lecture about mathematical wokeism, as “mathematically toxic”—they’d be deprived of education funding for discussing that math is racist, or for condemning centuries-long white male privilege in academia.

An ideological straw person the makes a pejorative out of the perceived excesses of socially liberal politics in the West, and especially the United States. Typically, it ends up saying more about the anxieties of the conservatives who invoke it than the group they are criticizing.
"Can you believe Ayaan Hirsi Ali has a tag for 'wokeism' on her podcast website? I'm always surprised at how many New Atheist types ended up becoming fascist nut bags."
