Would a reasonably precise AI-based website devoted to identifying postmodern/Neomarxist courses/professors/disciplines for students do more

Are you now talking about Neomarxists and postmodernists as a GROUP, or as INDIVIDUALS? Who suffers? The group, or the individuals?
-
The benefits to the "group" of students outweigh the potential suffering of the individuals comprising the Neomarxists/postmodernists?
-
Good argument, but. Neo-Marxism and postmodernism aren't people. They're ideas. Are you arguing that postmodernists are inherently postmodern? If not, what about the "potential suffering" of postmodernists who suffer because of their ideology?
-
I am against the ideas, but for the people. Assigning the dirty work to an AI is a cop-out on the moral responsibility for their well-being as individuals.
-
I'm a bit confused of your wording. For the current postmodernists, maybe. For the not yet indoctrinated, avoiding postmodern ideology is positively healthy for their "moral responsibility."
-
Indicting postmodernists is no different than indicting non-postmodernists. Same argument, different sides. I am not talking about their victims, I am talking about the people who carry the ideas.
-
I agree with you, but the context here is not "indictment." Indictment would look more like if professor Peterson had personally fired postmodern professors. He is instead letting the free flow of student's individual judgement to see those professors go.

Judgement is formed on one's own reason, facts, arguments, and evidence. If we allow an AI to do all that for us, what does that say about our position, about the strength of our argument, about our personal understanding?
