Its the story of the Frankenstein Monster acting as the perfect metaphor. Basically the PC Monster liberal professors helped create, particularly on college campuses, is now turning its wrath on its creators and it has them paralyzed with fear. They promoted this toxic ideology (PC and Repressive Tolerance) for decades, so from where I sit this is called 'Poetic Justice.'
