No doubt that your leftists are more extreme in their victim/offender mentality, that they live in more of a bubble, but there's a reason that they are or became - how best to frame it? - socially allowed by wider society to suddenly enter and influence college life to the extent they get tenure teaching pseudo-scientific activism. The latter link you posted simply offers a generational difference, but not an explanation for why a prestigious private college or university would allow and accept the teaching of Social Justice ideology into their institutions.
I would guess it is allowed because most people remain unaffected. Not all campuses have this problem, or have it to the degree that makes the news. That isn't to say that it isn't pernicious, nor insidous, it's just that unless you follow this kind of thing, you could likely go your whole life without directly being affected by all of this. I often think of my in laws as representative of a large portion of Americans. They don't even know what a SJW is. You'd need to have a long conversation with them to break down the problem, (which there is), but the point is, there are college graduates in this country completely unaware that all of this is occuring simply because they don't care and are bothered by any of this.
