GayandRight

My name is Fred and I am a gay conservative living in Ottawa. This blog supports limited government, the right of the State of Israel to live in peace and security, and tries to expose the threat to us all from cultural relativism, post-modernism, and radical Islam. I am also the founder of the Free Thinking Film Society in Ottawa (www.freethinkingfilms.com)

Tonight! Schools' Out: Political Correctness vs. Academic Freedom

Please join us for a very interesting evening on the indoctrination going in our schools and Universities.

We'll be showing a film as well as a presentation on political correctness in Canada...and then a reception after our event.

Diversity in higher education has been defined in terms of race, gender and class. Critics say this has resulted in a new tyranny of anti-Western prejudice. They claim education has turned into indoctrination of political ideology that undermines the university's goal of intellectual diversity and freedom. 


Supporters say this is a triumph over white European patriarchy that has unfairly dominated and distorted education with a Western prejudice. They reveal an underlying systemic structure of oppression against minorities in traditional definitions of "knowledge." Who is right? Who is wrong? Where does the truth lie? Or is truth a social construct created in the interest of the ruling class? 

"School's Out" explores the battlefield of this raging war of cultural beliefs and educational standards going on in ivy league citadels like Harvard, Princeton and Yale, but also schools across North America.
