Certainly I can't post a page full of specific scientists that support the show. But I will post these:

since I'm confident you won't pay a bit of attention to the above articles, I'll summarize. They include information on a couple of college professors that have developed classes around the show itself to engage in political correctness and social studies. NPR even covers this.

Meanwhile, Time magazine along with a few other links make an argument for why the show may be the smartest in animated show in television and why it holds its own against any show even.

I'm sure that since I didn't give you exactly what you asked for or provide a poll consisting of only voters with doctorate degrees to voice their opinion with votes, you will completely disregard all of that. Nevertheless, it's pretty damn phenomenal that an animated show can have published sociology books studying and analyzing it as a great contribution to politics and social issues within our society. But I digress. 

Ok so two professors at two colleges are discussing south park. This isn't really surprising, especially in the context of TV and Radio majors. A lot of required courses and electives are fluid and experimental. Actually recently there was this fairly big story about the University of Oklahoma collaborating with the History Channel to create a distance learning course. The fact that people discuss this in higher education doesn't qualify your earlier claim. Also the guy in the first link sounds like he's using his platform to create a class to help him write his book.

The time magazine article is just 3 paragraphs. Barely goes into any detail.

The NPR article is barely more than a reiteration of the first link you pasted.

the hotair link has nothing to do with higher education.

and the gizmodo link is a list. that whole site basically seeks pageviews. I don't know where you're going with the last two.
