Today, we’re addressing one of the most obnoxious corners of the identity
politics debate. And that is the corner occupied by Right Liberals who believe
that any desire to change the world is a divisive symptom of maladjusted
affluenza emanating from pampered college students. Moira Weigel discusses her
Guardian review of The Coddling of the American Mind, which makes its case by
way of pragmatic folk aphorisms like: “Prepare the child for the road, not the
road for the child”.
