At some point or another during our academic endeavor, most of us have heard the rumor that colleges are too liberal.

I say rumor, but can something so blatantly obvious really be considered a rumor?

I don't think it can.

Recently, I was introduced to a documentary film called Indoctrinate U and produced by a young filmmaker named Evan Coyne Maloney. I would wager the guess that most of you, like myself, had never heard of this documentary.

Indoctrinate U is a documentary about how American universities are suppressing speech by stretching political correctness to the edge.

Unfortunately, the closest I, or anyone else, can come to seeing this much-needed expose on the college environment is by watching the trailer.

Why, you might ask?

Well, as the film's Web site so accurately suggests, unless your name is Michael Moore or Al Gore, Hollywood could care less about your opinion. When you're a filmmaker, it helps to have someone in Hollywood willing to distribute your film.

If Maloney had gone around interviewing professors/administrators in an attempt to affirm the liberal ideology, I would bet that groves of Hollywood drones would be lining up to distribute his film.

As is obvious from the film's trailer, this film actually attempts to inform people of something they don't already know.

Most people can honestly claim they have no clue of the indoctrination of thought occurring in the American university.

As opposed to Al Gore's Oscar-winning slide show that was nothing more than a nice organization of information most people already knew, this documentary actually exposes the public to something they don't know.

Universities spend so much time screaming "diversity" in our ears that it almost sounds legitimate. The problem is that universities think diversity only relates to race or ethnicity when it is really so much more than that.

One interviewee from the film speaks explicitly about this, claiming "the university is totally ignoring diversity of thought."

Sadly, the indoctrination will never end as long as those in power continue denying that the problem exists.

It's easy for liberals to blow the whole subject off as "conservative conspiracy" because they are the ones allowing this to occur.

This strikes me as odd when it is the liberals who are usually touting diversity louder than anyone else.

As another interviewee from the film pointed out, why is it suddenly against the law now to offend someone?

The university uses their diversity mask to implicitly suppress speech. They call it "promoting diversity." There is First Amendment theory known as the marketplace of ideas.

The marketplace of ideas is supposed to allow for all speech to be heard, allowing the best ideas to survive.

The liberals figure their ideas are right, so why should there be any discussion?

So far, the liberals are winning.

On college campuses, the marketplace of ideas has been replaced by the constant need to promote diversity by preventing discussion. Is this tradeoff really worth it?

So, where can we see this film? Currently, you cannot.

As I mentioned, the geniuses in Hollywood have decided not to distribute the film. As long as it challenges everything the liberals have worked so hard for, Hollywood will never support the film.

However, if it gains enough support, I believe we can get this monumentally important film distributed. I urge all of you who are interested to go to the film's Web site (www.indoctrinate-u.com), view the trailer, and add your name to the "request a local screening" list.

The more support that can be gained for Mr. Mahoney's landmark documentary, the better chance it stands of being distributed.

For those who clearly disagree with everything this film stands for, I also urge you to express interest by adding you name to that list.

In order to promote the marketplace of ideas, wouldn't it only be fitting that this film have its rightful chance to be seen?

I willingly suffered through Moore's Fahrenheit 911 and Gore's An Inconvenient Truth because I believe in an open-minded approach to opinion. Indoctrinate U is a documentary of mass importance to American culture.

Perhaps diversity and free speech should stop being promoted until they are actually understood.
