The vast, vast majority of students are going to go completely through their educational journey - without experiencing any such thing. Some relative few (a tiny, tiny minority) have unfortunately had this mind-bending experience. And that is bad enough. There is no reason (nor justification) for conflating this as anything like - 'this is our society today' It amounts to fear mongering ...

(and I know this is not exactly what this person said - but the implication is most certainly there. )
