Andy, thanks for the thoughts :-)
To ensure the feedback mechanism remains tied to the learning objectives, one way is to grant 'super user' status to teachers. Super users can have votes that are 'heavier' than typical users (e.g. one upvote from their end counts for 10 regular upvotes from students). Super users can also outright filter certain content if they deem it necessary (delete, or edit it). These are not-too-complex functionalities I can probably code over a weekend. I suppose that allays your concerns? Do give more feedback!
