I think you're confusing k's perspective with that of the Holy Trinity here. K is full of scorn and ridicule of prominently placed individuals who chicken out on their responsibility to speak out clearly against public misconduct. Bob-mark-greg have a fear of such commentary, much like the irresponsible professors who're afraid to bite the hand that feeds them. But k is equally critical of the manufacturers of causes, and he's somewhat dubious about professional social workers. Whether Ms Roy is overshooting the mark and moving from 'speaking out' to 'espousing feft-wing causes', as various people here have suggested, is questionable. I dislike it when I feel that someone is 'playing politics' with what should be a matter of conscience, but my greatest respect is reserved for those who speak against the deluded populism of their own tribe. Mencken, Nietzsche, Heine, Chomsky. Einstein etc. etc..... The greastest are the ones who can do that while avoiding ideology. I'm not sure about Ms Roy.
