Privileged Haunts

From the Chronicle of Higher Education:

Higher education has no special immunity from the angri-culture. On the contrary, it is a privileged haunt for those who delight in scorn, derision, and wrathful dislike of mainstream American culture. We cite academic freedom as guaranteeing our right to be vitriolic.

It's from an article about the Beck vs. Cloward controversy.

The academic left prizes anger as a sign of caring about the oppressed.
But when anger comes at them, they are oh-so-deeply distressed.
