The Delicate Yet Venomous Crybully

Instapundit links to the text of a Roger Kimball speech at the Bradley Prize ceremony, posted at The New Criterion. Kimball riffs on the ridiculousness of the “woke” philosophy being pushed on campus:
There are two central tenets of the woke philosophy. The first is feigned fragility. The second is angry intolerance. The union of fragility and intolerance has given us that curious and malevolent hybrid, the crybully, a delicate yet venomous species that thrives chiefly in lush, pampered environments.
Wow, I retired out of academia just in time. It has subsequently mutated into something I’d hate being a part of.
