        <title>The Liberal Academic Agenda - The View From Here - ShureleeUJest&apos;s Blog - Victoria Advocate</title>
        <link>http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/ShureleeUJest/5327</link>
        <description>One of my favorite web sites is www.newsmax.com because of the variety of conservative writers&amp;nbsp; that can be found there.&amp;nbsp; Recently,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Kenneth R. Timmerman&amp;nbsp; wrote an article about a&amp;nbsp;documentary by Evan Maloney called &amp;quot;Indoctrinate U&amp;quot;. 
Writes Timmerman, &amp;quot;A rip-roaring expos&amp;eacute; by first-time documentary filmmaker Evan Coyne Maloney, &amp;quot;Indoctrinate U&amp;quot; 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. &amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; 
Maloney filmed segments at twenty different colleges across the country including some of the &amp;quot;big name&amp;quot; schools on both the east and west coast.&amp;nbsp; Some&amp;nbsp;of the nonsense, he discovered include:
&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;In a showing of the film&amp;nbsp; at the Kennedy Center, the packed crowd&amp;nbsp;burst into uproarious laughter as Maloney and his cameramen searched campuses in vain for the &amp;ldquo;Men&amp;rsquo;s Study Center.&amp;rdquo; 
&amp;nbsp;They howled with knowing delight when Maloney filmed campus free-speech advocates putting on a &amp;ldquo;diversity bake sale,&amp;rdquo; 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). 
&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;One left-wing professor explained with utmost seriousness how &amp;ldquo;whiteness is oppression.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Maloney was wise enough to let him go on and on about the uselessness of studying the U.S. Constitution (written by &amp;ldquo;dead white men&amp;rdquo;), and the horrors of modern-day America and capitalism. 
&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;A conservative professor read from his college&amp;rsquo;s academic code book, which instructed all teachers to craft their course syllabus &amp;ldquo;to develop a sense of race, class, and gender.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Those requirements were imposed on all subject matter &amp;mdash; &amp;ldquo;even math, physics . . . and horticulture!&amp;rdquo;.&amp;nbsp; 
&amp;quot;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.&amp;nbsp; After describing how most university classes &amp;mdash; whether it be English, science, or government &amp;mdash; tend to begin with a long political harangue by the teachers to condemn the war in Iraq or ridicule George W. Bush, he concluded, &amp;ldquo;What most faculty want is for students to validate their pathetic life experiences.&amp;rdquo; </description>

So...</title>
                <description>Hello Shurelee,
So glad you have a blog. I know I&#039;ll find some great things here.&amp;nbsp; 
I used to look at Newsmax.com as well, but, man, I just don&#039;t have the time to check out all those good sites. I know you&#039;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.&amp;nbsp; 
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&#039;ve read Norma&#039;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&#039;m rethinking that for sure. </description>

                <title>Oct 18,  2007 at 12:10 PM : When I went to VC and...</title>
                <description>When I went to VC and UHV, the professors their all seem to be fair-minded, and I didn&#039;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. 
&amp;nbsp;
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.&amp;nbsp; 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&#039; generation for shure were ASLEEP.&amp;nbsp; </description>
