I think that's pretty spot-on. Having spent the first half or so of my adulthood in relative poverty among relativity conservative people, and the second half in relative affluence as a member of the Academic world, I've seen much of this first-hand. Especially the holiness spiral (what a great descriptive term), which, now that I'm aware of it, may go far to explain the corruption of our education system.
On large university campuses, the faculty who get the least respect are probably the Education profs (even the ones with PhDs and not EdDs). They noticed the 'respect' (or at least attention) given to the Angry Studies profs (even the ones without PhDs), and began engaging in a Lefty holy spiral combat. And in the course of doing so deliberately t infected their (mostly) below average intellectual ability undergrads. I believe it started around 1995, looking back.
