Do Gender Studies programs create activists?

[beez]

I came across this discussion concerning a proposed bill in Wyoming that would remove public funding for Gender Studies programs.  One point made about public funding is that the programs, essentially, train activists, which goes against public interests.   The bill was shot down.  

I agree, and would go one step further.  Training for essential jobs, for public interest should be the only post high school education supported by public funding.  

Here’s the discussion:  https://www.jamesgmartin.center/2022/03/...ing-block/

I don't think it creates activists, I think it promotes activists.

True, just as engineers are trained, not really ‘created’, such are the muckrakers.  And they get a credential.

Universities have become ideological factories.

They were that way in the 80's when I was in college and I imagine they haven't changed much.
