No one can speak more directly to the credibility and power of Evan Coyne Maloney's Indoctrinate U than college students. They live in the world Maloney documents, and their educations are shaped--or, one might argue, distorted--by the lop-sided doctrinaire attitudes and policies that are so commonly a feature of our campuses.
Take just one recent case: Last spring, at Tufts University, a conservative student newspaper was persecuted for engaging in entirely protected speech -- simply because the speech, which criticized affirmative action and some of the most radical aspects of Islamic fundamentalism, offended certain special interest groups on campus. Though Tufts claims to embrace the ideal of free inquiry and open, robust debate, the paper was investigated, tried, and found guilty of harassment by a university committee. No free speech exists at Tufts, despite the university's claims to the contrary.
The editor of that paper, Matthew Schuster, knows whereof he speaks. And he likes what he sees in Indoctrinate U. "Indoctrinate U is a powerful, thought-provoking call to arms for those who refuse to be silenced," he writes; "The documentary takes aim at the entrenched academic establishment, confronting a powerful elite that is trampling freedom of speech."
