projectorion This movie is dead on, and matches my college and University experiences to the letter. For those of you who have been living under a rock for the last 40 years or so, American colleges and Universities have an overwhelming liberal bias and intolerance for both conservative ideas and conservative people.For all of the talk about "diversity" on college campuses, there is basically no diversity of thought at all. Racial diversity -- maybe. Diversity of thought -- absolutely not! Schools... especially Universities in the USA have become little more than government-funded indoctrination centers, and that's the unsavory truth that this movie exposes so beautifully.

Cockeymofo76 I watched the movie, Indoctrinate U, on recommendation of a friend, and I have to say I was excited, I like the subject matter. I feel the discussion of political as well as just the simple teacher-student power relationship is an interesting subject. Unfortunately, that was really the high point of the movie, my anticipation.He uses techniques that only bad documentarians (see Michael Moore) use. These include but aren't limited to: 1. The attack interview - He sticks a mike and camera in people's faces and they are understandably flustered, you would be to if the banality of your day was interrupted in that manner. So using the footage as he does is questionable, at best.2. He edits, a lot - The interviews are cut up, a lot. He actually cuts off a women describing why the university has a women's center, and not a men's center, mid-list. This is disingenuous as it seems as though, at least some of the time, the editor is shaping the interviewee's thoughts not the interviewee. I actually thought there was something wrong with my DVD, until I realized there were just that many edits.3. He voices over - This sometimes can be used effectively, but Maloney doesn't seem to understand the power this gives him. Also, this is a sub-point, he represents the other-side of arguments. So he will be portraying someone, or thing, in a positive light and simply say the that whoever was on the other side of the argument says "this". The problem is that he rarely quotes and never has the people that are legitimately on the other side of the argument on screen. He more than once misconstrues an argument on the other side.4. Way too much content - The director, oddly, chooses to talk about many, at least 8, different things. They are all on the same theme no doubt, and all interesting, but that is way too much for a movie, maybe enough for a mini-series. The effect of this is at no point in the movie do you feel you have a true understanding of an issue or event.5. His warrants don't match his claims - He says, as the title says, that colleges are propagating liberal doctrine. Well, I think he quite successfully proved that some are trying to, but he never shows any statistical data that people leaving college are any more or less liberal than those entering. He doesn't prove that liberal professors have any effect on their students. Which to me seems like an easy point to make, so it's curiously missing from the movie. 6. What he talks about is skewed - All the discussion in the movie is based around very minute cases. So although many of the people were legitimately wronged, there is no evidence that this is a pervasive problem, only that these people had a poor experiences.The problems in this movie are really simple. He should sit down and watch Errol Morris documentaries for days and he will see what a quality documentarian can do.I'm giving this movie a poor grade because of his techniques not his statements.Strictly for those interested in the subject matter, I wouldn't advise anyone to watch it though. 3/10

robertmike57 That was the opening statement by Evan Coyle Maloney, start with your conclusions, cull the information to find your agenda. This obscure documentary went to obscurity because it lives up to it's title to indoctrinate. I hope that a conservative that will make a documentary that is informative and not shrill preaching, but this documentary leaves me with only that hope.This documentary has decided that colleges are censoring conservatives and proceeds to cherry pick a few excesses, attempts to make generalizations and ignores the concept there are other possibilities than bad evil liberals being the cause of censorship. Maloney attempts a few Michael Moore style ambush interviews, but quickly falls back to a boring lecture. This is partly a function of not having a budget, but is more of a function of being dishonest and lazy. I expect little from conservatives, but this was much less than little.

bean-d I would definitely urge people--especially college students and professors--to watch this documentary. Watch and listen. Listen without formulating a response to every scene that the filmmaker creates. You may just find yourself a tad enlightened. The film-making is not great, but the information contained therein is quite good.My experience getting a Ph.D. was precisely like what is portrayed in "Indoctrinate U." Would I have proudly announced my conservative leanings to my professors and peers? Heck no! Only unless I wanted to be a campus outcast and have no professor willing to serve on my dissertation committee. Would I have admitted to listening to Rush Limbaugh on occasion or being pro-life? Perish the thought! Only unless I wanted to spend four years receiving dirty glances and hateful comments.Maybe everyone's experience wasn't mine, but the modern-day university isn't a place a thought-diversity . . . and in my book, that's the most important type of diversity there is.
