This is part one of a three part short documentary concerning the very troubling events that took place two years ago at Evergreen State University. There is a dangerous, illiberal movement on the extreme left that worries me for many reasons. I think it's important for liberals to police themselves to a degree and this is such an event. If you watch this and the other two episodes (it's less than 90 minutes in total), you'll be shocked at how a small group of very active and very loud protestors can silence speech and create a mob mentality that could surely get ugly. This plays into the right-wing media's portrayal of loony lefties on college campuses. And no, I don't think this is representative of the vast majority of liberal college students, but it's troublesome nonetheless. The comments section has some sharp observations and references to Mao's Cultural Revolution as well as other indoctrination movements. The subject of the students's animus, Bret Weinstein, is a thoroughly decent, generally quite liberal, professor. I've watched many hours of his interviews and discussions and am convinced he was profoundly misrepresented, dangerously threatened, and ultimately pushed out of his teaching at the school. I really think this is time well spent though be prepared to feel very uneasy at times.
