Naming the Enemy: Critical Social Justice

>If democracy is about individual rights (justice for individuals), then social justice is about group rights (justice for groups). –Lynn Lemisko (in Educator to Educator, p. 193)

What a strange statement. Democracy is the rule of the majority, and therefore, it'd be justice for groups, rather than individuals. Am I wrong in understanding social justice as the movement to have equal treatment among individuals? I don't know who Lynn Lemisko is, but it sounds like she has these ideas backwards.

Anyways, the author makes a decent point about critical theory potentially being more destructive than constructive.
