What's wrong with being exposed to toxic idealogies?  That's like saying we better burn the book because we don't like what it says.  

I dunno.  Through the lens of the book, the absurdity of some of these toxic things become gratuitously apparent.

Even beloved science fiction authors of years past would have some views that would be considered antiquated or even bigoted in 2023.

Again, mainly most kids aren't/weren't ever learning "science" from science fiction.
