Many colleges no longer teach critical thinking. They teach censorship. And victimhood.
These ideas make students depressed and anxious.

The new documentary, “The Coddling of the American Mind,” ( thecoddlingmovie.com ) tells stories of students who fell for the indoctrination.
Before college, Kimi Katiti was full of confidence. But at the Art Institute of California, she learned she was a victim.
“I was introduced to microaggressions,” she explains. “This set of thought processes was really unhealthy and was making me miserable.”
Lucy Kross at Stanford was taught that Ben Shapiro’s ideas “put black, brown, trans, queer, and Muslim students at risk.”
She found that embracing woke language made her more popular.
“When I started to use the vocabulary of like, marginalized, intersectional, hegemonic…People just kind of smiled a little bit more.”
Over time, she, and others, concluded that such ideas hurt her.
Our new video looks at their experience navigating campus indoctrination, and how they escaped it.
