[QUOTE="SeniorGeek, post: 177441, member: 4823"] Indoctrinate U I have not seen the film. After seeing the cheap innuendo and comments without context from unidentified speakers in the trailer, I do not intend to waste my time watching the film. It appears to be created with the purpose of inflaming viewers. I notice that few of the people in the trailer actually state the subject that they are talking about - so we can not verify what it is that they are talking about. Very few of the statements would stand alone. I think this fits the term "out of context". Watch the trailer again, but think about this: they are talking about what the most-vocal [U]students[/U] want. The tie-wearing adults sitting at desks are members of faculty and administration who are complaining about the high level of PC that many students demand. The students are complaining about the student groups and the faculty who have caved in to the demands of their [-]customers[/-] students. I think this guy watched the movie "PCU", and thought it was all true. He took some footage and cut it to fit his thesis. Some quotes from the trailer: "They really believe that this is the only view any reasonable person could possibly hold" could be said of many groups - left, right or any other direction. I can not tell who she is talking about. "If a professor is comparing one of the students who took his class to Hitler, and to suicide bombers - a student, by the way, from the Middle East - then I think that's a story", says the interviewer. (He does not say whether he has any evidence that it is a [U]true[/U] story.) Is the [U]interviewer[/U] the one who is trying to be PC? (Where was this guy when Bill O'Reilly compared a Viet Nam vet to Hitler? I imagine that O'Reilly would not invite him to call and arrange a time that he was not already busy.) If he wants to find someone who compares people from the Middle East to suicide bombers, he might have better luck outside of college campuses. [/QUOTE]
