Are College Campuses Showing Real Diversity?

Via Power Line:
For those who are concerned about the brainwashing effects of many colleges, documentary filmmaker Evan Coyne Maloney has a film for you, called Indoctrinate U.  It's about "academics who use classrooms as political soapboxes, students who must parrot their professors' politics to get good grades, and administrators who censor diversity of thought and opinion," and "[giving] voice to those whose stories of harassment, intimidation, and censorship make our nation's universities, supposed bastions of impartiality and free inquiry, seem mere mainstays of groupthink and indoctrination."

You may have seen Maloney's work before with his piece Protesting the Protesters, in which he attended a New York City anti-war rally to ask the protesters some questions.  Maloney takes the same approach in Indoctrinate U, though from what I can tell in the trailer, professors are far less willing to talk than the run-of-the-mill anti-war protester.

Check out the trailer on the website to see if you are interested.  Sign a petition to get the film shown in your area if you are really interested.  If you're lucky, there may already be a showing somewhere nearby.

[Edit] For a little more about the film, check out Maloney's visit to Fox News recently.
