The Liberal Academic Agenda
One of my favorite web sites is www.newsmax.com because of the variety of conservative writers that can be found there. Recently, Kenneth R. Timmerman wrote an article about a documentary by Evan Maloney called "Indoctrinate U". Writes Timmerman, "A rip-roaring exposé by first-time documentary filmmaker Evan Coyne Maloney, "Indoctrinate U" presents a searing and often hilarious portrait of campus absurdity, where gender, race, and multi-cultural politics have crowded out learning and the free exchange of ideas. " Maloney filmed segments at twenty different colleges across the country including some of the "big name" schools on both the east and west coast. Some of the nonsense, he discovered include: "In a showing of the film at the Kennedy Center, the packed crowd burst into uproarious laughter as Maloney and his cameramen searched campuses in vain for the “Men’s Study Center.” They howled with knowing delight when Maloney filmed campus free-speech advocates putting on a “diversity bake sale,” to poke fun at so-called affirmative action in college entrance requirements (Hint: each category of cookie sold at different prices, with some going at a steep discount). "One left-wing professor explained with utmost seriousness how “whiteness is oppression.” Maloney was wise enough to let him go on and on about the uselessness of studying the U.S. Constitution (written by “dead white men”), and the horrors of modern-day America and capitalism. "A conservative professor read from his college’s academic code book, which instructed all teachers to craft their course syllabus “to develop a sense of race, class, and gender.” Those requirements were imposed on all subject matter — “even math, physics . . . and horticulture!”. "The absurdity of campus life was summed up by conservative professor Michael Munger in a line that had the entire Kennedy Center audience hooting and cheering. After describing how most university classes — whether it be English, science, or government — tend to begin with a long political harangue by the teachers to condemn the war in Iraq or ridicule George W. Bush, he concluded, “What most faculty want is for students to validate their pathetic life experiences.” 2 comments from 1 users

Hello Shurelee, So glad you have a blog. I know I'll find some great things here. I used to look at Newsmax.com as well, but, man, I just don't have the time to check out all those good sites. I know you've been to Townhall.com also. I like it because you can put your two cents in on the columns, and usually the discussion is challenging, but not depraved. I so agree about the liberal academic agenda- kind of like Victoria College inviting Sara Weddington, Ms. Abortion herself, to come and speak at the college. I think they ought to have Norma McCorvey (the Roe in the original case) come do a protest or an expose on how she was used and abused by the two young lawyers from Texas in 1972. I've read Norma's story a few times. Anyway, Walter Williams has a great column similar to yours in the VA today called the academic cesspool, or something to that effect. Thanks for helping to give parents a heads-up. As for sending my kids to Victoria College, where I did graduate from, I'm rethinking that for sure. posted by

When I went to VC and UHV, the professors their all seem to be fair-minded, and I didn't see a liberal/conservative bent in the great ones I did have. Perhaps things have changed, especially with the sign of inviting Sara Weddington types.
Sanwichh- I hear you on the lefty professors out there. I have nieces and nephews who have the same experience. However, their parents did prepare them and they knew their history and religion, as well as logic. I think we have some great things to look forward to when these people start helping to frame society. At the least, a lot of fireworks as the secular-progressives keep pushing their agenda. When they did it in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, a good part of my generation and my parents' generation for shure were ASLEEP.
