Same exact thing for me when I got my BS in computer science in the 1990's at a local public university. My son later said it was the same for him. We heard exactly zero of the liberal/woke stuff in our math and CS undergrad courses, but a ton of it in our liberal arts "core" courses. And that's in red state Alabama.

That's also why I didn't get a master's or phd in CS. I could tell that the grad work was starting to get overtly political even back when I was young, even in CS, even in Alabama. Back then I was too young and impressionable -- I didn't want to be regularly influenced by the world if I was in an environment where they taught me, not the other way around. I'm comfortable being immersed in the world only if any culture changes happen from me to them (i.e. Jesus hanging out with the sinners).
