Critics of “Indoctrinate U,” the documentary by Evan Coyne Maloney about the predominant leftist groupthink on campuses, like to portray the film as one-sided.

Kyle Smith, a New York Post film critic, raises the point with Maloney in a revealing interview, asking in particular why the film does not “show administrators defending their policies.” The intrepid Maloney responds:

I would have loved to get those guys on camera. We made over 200 attempts to get administrators all over the country to talk with us on camera. Not one of them would agree to be interviewed.

Moreover, these faceless administrators did everything but bound and gag Mahoney to prevent him from capturing on film the bias and intolerance on their campuses. When queried about how often these fearless leaders – who endlessly invoke the sanctity of freedom of expression in defense of leftist activists – called in the police or campus security, Maloney answers:

About half a dozen times. I was threatened with arrest at my own alma mater [Bucknell University] when I was invited to show a short film for a student group. I had received word that the screening would be disrupted, so I wanted to capture that on film. The general counsel of Bucknell University told me that if I filmed my own film being shown, I would be arrested. I filmed anyway. Ultimately, they backed off.

So there you have it, another appalling glimpse of the sheer hypocrisy and gutlessness of campus “leaders” in the service of the status quo. Only replacing them with people with integrity will do. Trustees and alums, are you listening?
