Default why doesn't Confucius Institutes all over the world teach Confucianism, but only Chin

to my understanding they are only Chinese learning schools, they don't really teach Confucianism or any other Chinese philosophy or cultures. why do they choose such a chauvinist and sexist name?

i was going to apply for a teaching job in the one in the city where i live, but i think it's a weird name for a regular Chinese school.

Confucius to the Chinese is like the founding father of all teaching schools, his birthday is celebrated by teachers in parts of China. Naming schools Confucius is like Americans naming theirs after their great presidents. Before one can understand his teachings, one should have a sound knowledge of the language. Just like English speakers, you need to know enough English before you can fully appreciate the Bible. That's why they start teaching the language first.

If you observe closely Mainland Chinese, many have long given up the good essence of genuine Confucianism. The 4 fundamental Confucius virtues literally do not exist in the Mainland, namely, Well-manner, Righteousness, Uncorrupted, Shame. How can people able to teach others when they dint even practise the Virtues themselves?
