A growing protest against lib profs

You Oughta Be in Pictures

If you're a college student fed up with heavy-handed leftism from the faculty, here's a chance to do something about it, and possibly end up on the silver screen. (If you have kids who're in college, you might want to forward this column to them.) Evan Coyne Maloney, a young New York-based documentarian, is looking for students to help the full-length version of his film "Brainwashing 101." (The preliminary, 46-minute version is available for ordering or downloading.)

Maloney is collecting information about "professors who turn classrooms into their personal political soapboxes." Here's what you do if you want to participate:

1. When a professor voices his or her political views in class--but only when it does not pertain to the subject matter at hand--keep track of how much class time is spent on the political discussion, and to the best of your ability, record the comments made by the professor.

2. Also, record the date of the discussion, the name of your professor, the name and course ID of the class, and the name and location (city and state) of your school.

3. Lastly, you must be able to provide the name of at least one other student who was present at the time and who is willing to corroborate your report.

Maloney's site, AcademicBias.com, provides an e-mail address where you can submit the info. "Based on your reports, we will be visiting a number of schools to see what the administration's official position is on political advertising in class. If you help us, you could end up in our movie!"

Many college professors are under the impression that "academic freedom" gives them the right not only to say whatever they want but also to be insulated from any scrutiny or criticism. It will be fun to watch them squirm when Maloney shines a light on them.
