>> school is for learning, not so much for political activity
That is the radical idea imho. I cannot think of anywhere more associated with political activity than schools. From Harvard's impact on the forming of the US as a nation, through anti-slavery writings, Brown v. Board of Education, the Kent state shootings, through modern school shootings/gun control, to today's "culture war" ... schools have always been at the heart of every US political issue.

This is primary for any teaching institution. Second, we have effecting the change in society through organization and political speech, action. That's not primary for teaching institutions even if it co-located by it.
