> The intellectual battlefields today are on college campuses, where students' deep convictions about race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation and their social justice antipathy toward capitalism, imperialism, racism, white privilege, misogyny and “cissexist heteropatriarchy” have bumped up against the reality of contradictory facts and opposing views, leading to campus chaos and even violence.

God, this is laughable. If the author were clutching his pearls any harder he'd be making diamonds. What <<sturm und drang>> a couple of hundred hyperleftist college students are capable of inciting in the conservative literati! Making themselves appear so much larger than life that they can haunt the imaginations of so many otherwise rational thinkers and authors. Impressive, really.
