Indoctrinate U

[ballyhood]

After reading all the liberal trash being spouted here I decided to look at this in detail. I signed up to see the
movie, because the trailer is too short. And so what if the quotes are out of context? Its just a freakin trailer!

One guy has a computer with FIRE on the screen, and its Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. It is a bunch
of college professors complaining. MOST OF THEM ADMINT TO BEING IN THE ACLU! They all seem to be from places that
liberals like. Massacusetts and California and New York City. A bunch of lawyers too! One wrote a paper asking if
Rudy Guliani's cleanup of New York City was againts the constitution! LOOK AT THE RESULTS BEFORE YOU ASK THAT
QUESTION!!!!??!!

They dont bother to hide some of there afilliations. They are proud to list on the web site
California State Board of Education !
Mont Pelerin Society I had to look this up to find out it calls itself "A classical liberal society"
ACLU we already know
Village Voice (a liberal New York newspaper)
the Gallatin School of Individualized Study this is some hippy school where you make up your own classes

There big mistake was to leave FIRE on the screen that one time. Even the logo is the same! With the fire coming out
of the I. That one mistake made me find out this movie is part of the LIBERALS HATE AMERICA PLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So apparently nothing one says on an internet chat board can be true anymore unless they post links. Ok. I'll go along with that.

"On Campus, a Culture of Conformity - Forward.com"

FrontPage magazine.com :: Overbearing Liberalism on Campus by George G. Culpepper Jr. And Danielle Robinson

huh? who said anything about links?

"I've got my propoganda/ I've got revisionism..."

You know, after reading all the back and forth bickering on this thread, I don't even care about the effin film at this point. Really. My only point of confusion is why 'conservatives' get so defensive about stuff? I mean really. What's the point?

If I understand this - and that is questionable - "Indoctrination U" is part of a liberal conspiracy to commit some liberal sort of fraud or something?

My head hurts.

But I see through your ploy. You think I am a Liberal, so if you can convince me that IU is a liberal film, my comrades and I will have to go see it.

Your ploy will not work. I am not a party member. I have never paid dues to a socialist organization. (The only socialist organizations that have ever counted me as a member are family and church.)

huh? who said anything about links?

It must have been you. Prove otherwise! Proof must contain URLs from verifiable, independent resources. "Verifiable" is defined as 100% in agreement with me, and I will define "independent" in whatever manner pleases me, subject to change at my whim. Anything submitted as proof may be used against you. Capitulation is the suggested course of action.

I thought this stopped being about the film* after my 2nd post, 9 days ago, and turned into a discussion of what was said in the posts. Plus commentary about mental illness. In summary, as you so succinctly put it, "bickering".

At this point, it has turned into an episode of Snarky in Wonderland (with a psychedelic cameo by ballhooker or whatever the name is, playing the Mad Hatter), and I expect to hear someone calling "Off with their heads" any moment now.

*Film? Who uses film?

This topic was always about liberalism on campus. Do the research and you'll see that more than a handfull of people agree. If you can't see this then you are either in denial or you just love arguing for the sake of arguing. You want links? My last response had only two of many that can be googled. Well, there ya have it. Rant on.

rrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnttttttttttttttttttttttt!
bbbbbbbbbiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

there's a liberal message in there somewhere, i'm sure.

but probably not a psychadelic one, lol.

No that couldn't possibly be a liberal message because "gobbledgook" would have been considered "politically incorrect" towards Vietnamese people that have been eaten alive by wild animals and therefore a liberal couldn't have dared to post it here out of fear of upsetting their pals in the ACLU. :=)

I am sure that more than a handful of people would agree that the topic started out as liberalism on campus. On the other handful, as the thread unraveled it did drift off topic.

Or was that second sentence not about the first sentence? OK then, I agree that more than a handful of people agree that liberalism is rampant on campus. I am part of that handful. (Hey, guess which finger I ended up on!)

You are welcome to go back and find that I wrote something about it on 3/21 - about how the very situation you describe is the result of students making free market decisions.

If you can't see this then you are either in denial or you just love arguing for the sake of arguing.

I do like a good argument - one that is civil, well-reasoned and doesn't degenerate into name calling. So, denial it is.

You want links? My last response had only two of many that can be googled. Well, there ya have it. Rant on.

I prefer to perform my own internet research, so I can look at a variety of positions. [There's a good sentence to take out of context!]

From the trailer, I can't tell if the movie is going to suggest any sort of solution to the problem it posits. IF college campuses have a culture that makes it difficult to hold a conservative point of view, what should be done? Do we need to require some conservatives to teach or to require that existing teachers espouse conservatism? Do we need to make it easier for students who hold conservative points of view?

Wait a minute.... Countering the free-market decisions that have already been made by the majority of students, restraining the speech that is allowed and coddling those with views that are out-of-favor?

Once somebody sees this movie, can you report back any solutions that are actually proposed? I'm sure they can't be as bad as any of the ideas I have deduced.

Everyone have a good weekend. I plan to!
