It was only fitting that Indoctrinate U would run into trouble with a university--so much of what the film documents is how much trouble universities make for people who depart from the approved campus viewpoint. And things were getting worrisome with Indiana University, whose lawyers not only found problems with the film's logo, but demanded that On the Fence Films pay them to drop their complaint. But after Evan Coyne Maloney published a piece about the debacle at the Wall Street Journal, IU thought better of its actions and declared a conclusion to its potentially ruinous pursuit of the film. And, in the manner of the internet, word got out not through an official university release, and not by way of direct communication with Maloney--but by way of an email sent by an IU official to James Taranto, author of the WSJ's daily "Best of the Web" column. Notification duly went public by way of Taranto's popular daily update.
Now Indoctrinate U is good to go--and going to Canada! On February 18, 2008, it will screen in Ottawa, at the Free Thinking Film Society, at 7 PM.
