The most academic famous book on Pound, still much taught, is The Pound Era, by Hugh Kenner, which goes out of its way to emphasize that Pound had an important social/political vision & wasn't just literature. That's the mainstream academic view of Pound.

No. You are simply pretending this is an argument about whether Kant is taught. It is not that, as most ppl observing have noticed. It is an argument about whether Kant is taught for his (to use an anachronism) right-wing beliefs. The answer to that is ofc that he is not.

similarly Pound's politics are an embarrassment to anyone teaching him for what they believe to be separable as his literary merit

No, the question is whether his (fairly ordinary for that era) racism (... and sexism) was relevant to his ethics.

Kant’s racism plays a small part in the Anthropology, a work that is almost never taught, and it is contradicted by his thought in major works.
