Re: What are some recent uproars that you just don't get?

Because it suggests that a general list of recommended books for college students can only contain books about matters of deep political importance. That is pretentious. There's nothing wrong with having some lighter fare mixed in. It's like how I read all kinds of books in grade school, but when my teachers saw me putting a Sweet Valley Twins book on my Scholastic book order every once in a while they'd have to suggest some Newberry Award-winning "real book" as a better alternative. No, fuck you, there's nothing wrong with having a burger instead of a salad sometimes. Don't snatch every light read out if people's hands and try to replace it with something irrelevant to what they're *currently* interested in reading.

Most reading lists, in my experience, especially school-wide ones, have BARELY anything of deep political importance.

I think you're overreacting. The student's suggestion didn't say that no works of fiction should be permitted, nor did it say that no lighter fare was appropriate. The suggestion was that a young adult novel was not a good choice for a college reading list, and unless that novel is exceptional, I'd tend to agree.

Your analogy doesn't quite work, because Sweet Valley Twins and a Newberry award winning books are at least within your reading level demographic. YA is one level below college. You weren't putting board meant for small kids books on your order, after all.
