Ha, one way to put it is "hyper liberal shenanigans", the other way to put it is, "Presenting only one side of a highly complex situation requiring nuance". As an example in this case, when you look at other articles, plus the comments of the students themselves, it seems as though it's more than just "the class was too hard", it was that this teacher was largely uninterested in consistency and clear rules and requirements, and that he repeatedly refused to take feedback and make adjustments. But that doesn't fit the "stop lowering the bar" narrative in the post, so the Post just avoids putting that in there.
