"Indoctrinate U" Film Alleges Repressive Climate on Campuses

From Cybercast News Service:

(CNSNews.com) - Watch out, Michael Moore and Al Gore. A young filmmaker is preparing to release a full-length documentary that will "tell the story of how, in the name of education, schools from coast to coast ruthlessly compel conformity of thought."

"When we think of college, we think of intellectual freedom. We imagine four years of exploring ideas through vigorous debate and critical thinking," filmmaker Evan Coyne Maloney told Cybercast News Service Friday regarding his upcoming movie, "Indoctrinate U."

"But the reality is very far from the ideal," he said. "What most of us don't know is that American college students surrender their rights to free thought and free speech the minute they set foot on campus."

Maloney spent two and a half years investigating what he called "jaw-dropping incidents of political persecution" directed at students and professors at more than 20 schools across the country, ranging from elite Ivy League campuses to the largest state universities and the smallest community colleges.

The filmmaker's interest in the subject began when he was an undergraduate student at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pa. "What I noticed was that basically, from the first day you set foot on campus, the notions of tolerance and diversity were drilled into your head," he said. "But there wasn't a lot of tolerance for diverse points of view."

At the time, Maloney thought the political imbalance was unique to his campus. "But instead, this assault on free thought is taking place all over America -- right now -- on our nation's campuses," he noted.

To promote the documentary, production company On the Fence Films has posted a three-minute trailer at the "Indoctrinate U" website showing clips from the documentary and stating: "Welcome to the new American university. Keep your opinions to yourself."

My Comments:
Of course, this documentary will be completely ignored by Hollywood and the MSM, whose own version of closed-minded leftist political orthodoxy closely mirrors that on college campuses.
