"Indoctrinate U"



Quote:
Can you believe this goes on at U.S. colleges?
Stunning new DVD shows universities today resemble totalitarian states
Posted: June 03, 2008

© 2008 WorldNetDaily


Censorship. Enforced political conformity. Hostility to diversity of opinion. Sensitivity training. Though such despotic tactics are usually associated with totalitarian regimes, they increasingly describe life on America's university campuses.

"When we think of going to college, we think of intellectual freedom. We imagine four years of exploring ideas through energetic, ongoing, critical thinking and debate," says filmmaker Evan Coyne Maloney in the stunning new video documentary "Indoctrinate U: Our Education, Their Politics." "But the reality is very far from the ideal. What most of us don't know is that American college students check their First Amendment rights and individual freedom at the door."

Hailed by the New York Sun as one of "America's most promising" documentary filmmakers, Maloney has assembled a scorching indictment of higher education in America today, one sure to make students, parents, trustees, lawmakers and concerned citizens sit up and take notice.

Produced by On the Fence Films, with the support of the Moving Picture Institute, "Indoctrinate U" makes the campus culture wars – often treated as an abstract, hopelessly partisan battle – intensely personal and unforgettably human.

When unsuspecting students and professors run afoul of the campus thought police, the results would make for great comic farce – if real careers weren’t at stake.

A hard-hitting yet humorous exposé of the breathtaking abuses of power in higher ed, Evan Coyne Maloney's "Indoctrinate U" shows what you won't see in the glossy marketing brochures of American colleges and universities.

The New York Post calls it "alarming and funny." "Riveting," says the Wall Street Journal. "A terrific must-see," says National Review. The popular Power Line blog calls it "a funny, humane and powerful film."

And the London Telegraph calls the long-awaited feature-length film, which runs 89 minutes, "as slick and incisive as anything by Michael Moore."

*sigh* The film was made by Evan Coyne Maloney, not World Net Daily. WND doesn't write it's own stuff. People on WND do. Many different people with many different views. (of the politically conservative persuasion, that is)

Right - so if a news organization doesn't feed into your world view and opinions, it's not credible.

Sorry, but WND has a reputation for "breaking news" being pulled out of someone's azz.

BREAKING NEWS - Dick Cheney's retiring at the end of the year



It doesn't have to be a mainstream website, but WND is a website I DON'T go to and trust for news. It's like going to Joe Blow's blog and hearing about how Obama was behind 9-11.

But, then again, I'm sure some of you would believe it if some nobody posted it on the internet.

They were announcing the release of a documentary in that article! Sheesh, what's not reliable about that?


But besides that: About WND

It's not the first place I go everyday. (Lucianne.com is) But I've read some stuff from people there.

As one who walked out on Sensitivity training after the first hour of horsechit that was fed to me, let me ask. Has anyone who attended it ever gotten anything out of it except to be offended by it.

Andy. Withdraw until you have a few more years or experience points under your belt.

In case you've missed the point, nobody cares what you have to say.
