As usual, Ms. Wente's article is simplistic.  No, Ms. Wente, professors (I am one, and I know my colleagues, and I know my students) are not out to turn our students into social justice warriors ( a phrase that Ms Wente should avoid, unless she aspires to be like Milo Yiannopoulos, recently of Breitbart, who loves this phrase).  Ms. Wente's invented portrait of university campuses is a click-baiting caricature not based on fact.  I would agree to the very limited extent that many professors are now afraid to speak frankly to their classes, and be anything more than rather bland, because any somewhat unhinged student who hasn't been listening carefully can take to the internet and blacken a professor's reputation by misrepresenting what she or he actually said, and the professor has no means of recourse.  But that's not the fault of professors or university campuses.
