Are American college students being indoctrinated in their classrooms? Some recent studies say no. Closed Minds? is a survey of 1270 professors conducted by authors associated with the Brookings Institution. The survey asked these academics what their political persuasion was and whether they let politics influence their classroom presentations. The overwhelming majority of respondents said they were on the political left, but ninety-five percent denied that they used their classrooms to influence their students politically. This encouraged the Brookings experts to conclude "The idea that the elite universities are rife with leftist politics, or any politics for that matter, is at odds with the evidence."
We beg to differ. In researching our new book One-Party Classroom: How Radical Professors at America's Top Colleges Indoctrinate Students and Undermine Our Democracy, we didn't ask professors what they thought of themselves. Instead, we looked at the courses they actually teach -- courses like Community Studies 100P at the University of California Santa Cruz, which is described in the university catalogue in these words: "The goal of this seminar is to learn how to organize a revolution. We will learn what communities past and present have done and are doing to resist, challenge and overcome systems of power including (but not limited to) global capitalism, state oppression and racism."
This is clearly a training course in radical politics - an exercise in indoctrination, not a scholarly inquiry designed to examine its subject matter in a critical, academic manner. It violates the "standing orders" of the regents of the university which state that "Misuse of the classroom by, for example, allowing it to be used for political indoctrination.constitutes misuse of the university as an institution." Unfortunately, there is no university authority willing to challenge its radical faculty, and the University of California is no exception.
