QUOTE: From Crooked Timber:
"Hysterical use of language alert: Rachel Cooper in the Spectator , reacting to the suggestion that British universities admit student from rough state schools with lower A-level scores than their peers from expensive private schools:
'Professor Schwartz is happily preparing the ground for a pogrom of the privileged children whose successful grades are the product not only of their hard work and ability, but also the school they attended.'
Those pogroms aren’t what they used to be you know."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
