Evan Coyne Maloney has produced a documentary film entitled Indoctrinate U about problems with speech codes on college campuses, on the lack of academic freedom, and doctrinaire teaching at many schools.
Maloney spent two years traveling to campuses across the country, interviewing students, professors, and administrators to find out what life on campus is really like. Instead of the vibrant debate, intellectual diversity, and academic freedom we like to associate with universities, Maloney found violent protests at UC Santa Cruz and San Francisco State, persecution of student members of a conservative club at Cal Poly and the University of Tennessee, divisive racial and ethnic politics at the University of Michigan and Yale, doctrinaire teaching at Duke and Columbia, and much more.
Far from functioning as bastions of serious thought and reasoned debate, Maloney found, campuses today operate as mental processing plants, doing more to tell students what to say and think than to teach them to think for themselves.
The Indoctrinate U website lists some of the top cities, metro areas, and zip codes in its quest to get the film showed. The top cities and metro areas are what you might expect: New York, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Austin, Tx. The top zip code, however, is 56001, that of little Mankato, Minnesota, home of Minnesota State University, Mankato. I didn't realize there was such interest in this documentary at my school.
