Indoctrination through intimidation?

[CRONUS]

IndoctrinateU.com (http://indoctrinate-u.com/pages/welcome.html) is an interesting perspective on campus tactics to influence our youth to a particular POV.

I find it appalling for example that a young student has spent almost 2 years in court because his school threatened all types of punishment for simply posting a flyer in a student union about a black conservative speaker who was coming to the campus. The school administration claimed he was trying to racially harass the other students by posting the flyer. Hey I still have free speech roots at my core and I find this completely unacceptable. Anyway you may want to check out the site.

Also do you think that this sort of tactic is acceptable or unacceptable.

Okay, there has to be more about the story than that. What are the details? Was the poster supportive of the speaker? Did the poster want the speaker to not be allowed on campus?

What do you mean by "tactic"?

I do not think a professor should display his politics, and then shout down another student for disagreeing with him/her, or worse, give the student a lower grade for that disagreement.

At the same time, I think a student needs to be a critic of information. Whether it comes from CNN, a textbook, or a professor's lecture, it's the responsibility of a good student to scrutinize all information.
