• Professors, especially in the humanities, often use their positions of authority to indoctrinate students with political views that are hostile to the American form of government, its economic system, culture, and history - even in classes where such discussions are not relevant to the subject matter.
• Curriculums have been transformed to meet the demands of various "victim groups" with politicized area studies such as Women's Studies, African American Studies, and Queer Studies - while the Western Canon, that body of literature and art thought to consist of the best that has been thought, written and otherwise expressed has been partially jettisoned in an attempt to rid the curriculum of the influence of "dead white males".
• Most taxpayer-supported public universities have instituted draconian speech codes which violate the First Amendment rights of students in an attempt to prevent some students from being offended by the speech of others. In practice, the various speech restrictions are invariably used to silence students who are not members of a politically protected group while giving considerable leeway to those who are. Thus, white heterosexual males, political conservatives or libertarians and Christian students often find themselves brought up on disciplinary charges over rather innocuous speech.

Our goal in producing a documentary film is to dramatize this subject in a way that Americans - whether prospective students, parents, alumni, trustees, legislators, private sources of funding or other interested observers - who do not have first hand experience and who haven't read the relevant literature can become aware of the magnitude of the problem and the threat that it poses to our education system and the welfare of our country.

Since the beginning of the year, I have travelled around the country with filmmaker Evan Coyne Maloney visiting colleges and interviewing students, faculty and administrators. We have documented numerous cases of classroom political indoctrination, politically motivated tenure battles, and the denial of the right of free speech and association to students who dare to voice ideas different from those of the academic orthodoxy and campus victim groups. From campus to campus, the stories are typically the same - only the names and faces change.

Periodically, a campus tiff flares up, briefly appears in the mainstream media, and is quickly forgotten. Meanwhile, administrators and faculty, overwhelmingly members of the college generation of the 1960's, marinated in the revolutionary counter-culture ideals of that era, ride out the occasional bad publicity, determined to impose on a captive audience a worldview foreign to most Americans. In short, the worldview of the academic establishment consists of an opposition to the socio-economic system of Capitalism; especially the American system of individual rights, personal responsibility and free enterprise - and the advocacy of a collectivist society in which basic political rights are forfeited in favor of an equality of outcomes.

Thus far, the academic revolutionaries have been very successful - as one recent observer [1] notes:

In the days after Pearl Harbor, the enlistment lines at navy, army, and marine recruiting stations wound around the block. College boys were as well represented in those lines as farm boys. But in the days after the slaughter at the World Trade Center - before a single U.S. soldier had gone into combat or one cruise missile had been fired at the terrorists' base camps - the antiwar rallies had begun on American campuses.

This captures the essence of the danger to our nation. Generations of students educated to regard their own country, culture and civilization as institutionally racist, sexist, "homophobic", exploitative and genocidal will not rush to defend it.
