0710indoctrinate.jpgUniversities 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 [1] new documentary, Indoctrinate U [2]. 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 [3]" by The New York Sun.

Through Nov. 1, 7:15 & 9:15 p.m., Oak Street Cinema [4], 309 Oak St. S.E., Minneapolis; $8 (students $6, members/seniors $5).
