Is there intellectual totalitarianism on campuses today?

Question

Has anybody seen any of the movie indoctrinate-u and if so, what did you think? Have campuses become so PC that people are afraid to think for themselves?

Also, if you didn't see the movie, and you are on campus, do you feel that there is pressure to think a certain way?

Answer 1

This may be true in certain departments, but definitely not across the board. Some of my favorite colleagues have political beliefs which are the exact opposite of my own. On election day, I have often greeted one of them with, "So, have you cancelled out my vote yet?" We tease each other a lot, but we respect the fact that one of us is very conservative and the other very liberal. It makes discussion much more interesting if we don't all agree.
