I'm sure it sucks for people in France who love blackface entertainment to find that is no longer an option, but it's probably a stretch to blame this on US college campuses rather than deeper issues in French society.

People have a bias towards using easily accessible information that supports their priors rather than reconsidering those priors. Like accusing an opera director that says he does not want to do blackface has "soaked up American culture" because he spent time in Canada. 
Simpler explanation. Macron is in political trouble & so is pivoting right before the election. The easiest way to do that is to punch left at college campuses, and their crazy ideas about race, for creating division. And lets start attacking individual scholars. Sound familiar?
France is an old country, with a colonial past, and historic ideas of Frenchness that does not neatly match up with its current population. These facts, along with a desire not to talk about them, is a more likely source of friction rather than "dangerous" US ideas.
(And based on my very limited experience of French academia, it tends to be pretty insular, resistant to stuff labeled as American, and already pre-disposed to critical theory without any help, merci).
Looks like Fox now just programming off Glenn Greenwald's twitter feed
