Universities
shape mind. Universities teach us to "think." But do they teach us to
think for ourselves, or simply to think like "they" do. And who are
"they" anyhow? Do they really want diversity? Do they really want
diversity of thought? These are some of the questions raised by Evan Coyne Maloney's new documentary, Indoctrinate U.
Interviews with students and members of academia, combined with live
on-campus footage, illustrate a repressive political climate that
transforms education into indoctrination and threatens our freedom of
thought. Don't expect the usual liberal film in which students complain
that their radical ideologies are being suppressed. Maloney was once
called the "conservative answer to Michael Moore" by The New York Sun.
