I can only guess that the overall goal of the sheepification of the American student (through education at all levels) is conditioning to become good servants of the state.
Combine that with the fact that it’s way easier to whine and emote than it is to indulge in forging new neuronal connections in the brain and voilà, modern American education, writ large.
In the high school Civics course of old (and I’m talking decades ago) it seemed even then to be a toss up between teaching the principles of the Constitution and the workings of government and intimidation/brainwashing to prepare you for good (subservient) citizenship. It has only gotten worse.
I read the other day that the American Constitution is widely and deeply studied by students in Poland. I’d guess many American students can’t even name the 3 branches of government, let alone distinguish between separation of powers and checks and balances. Again, if your training up Sheeple, this might be the point.
Feminist teachers ? I recall reading of one feminist teacher at Duke who was failing one of the 3 Duke LaCrosse players while those guys were still under the (false) cloud of accusation. Apparently, there was not any academic justification for said “F” grade, and that particular situation (anyway) was remedied. That would be the closest I’d ever want to come to any “feminist’s” classroom for brainwashing, uh, academic pursuits. Or the classroom any ideologue, for that matter, and it seems that “higher education” is chock full of them these days.
The standard of education when I was going through school was that it was incumbent on any instructor to keep his or her personal views ideas out of the mix of the teaching. These days, the lectern seems to have become a pulpit.
As for Oprah, on the few occasions when I have caught her show, she seems to be expiating some deep personal guilt in giving whiners such a hefty and wide venue. It can’t be healthy for the psyches of legions of Americans at home, watching the crapola.
As for screeching feminists demanding this and that on American college campuses, it seems such a shame that education is so weakened and that wimp administrators have given in to setting up inane, self-indulgent, courses. Again, you gotta catch those neurons during the young, plastic phase 
or they’ll cement and atrophy and you’ll get carbon copies of Jane Fonda and Barbra Streisand.
