In many of our most prestigious educational institutions,
you can go literally from kindergarten to the Ph.D., without
ever encountering an argument that differs fundamentally
from whatever beliefs are being indoctrinated in these
institutions. Such indoctrination has long been common in
totalitarian dictatorships. But, in recent times, it has also
become increasingly widespread in American educational,
corporate and other institutions.
    On many college campuses, it has become common for
invited speakers, with viewpoints different from the
viewpoints of the campus indoctrinators, to be prevented
from speaking by mob disruptions and threats.
    This website provides an alternative way that people can
access information and viewpoints that differ from the
prevailing indoctrination viewpoints. There are vast sources
of factual information, analysis and viewpoints that allow
people to decide for themselves what they want to believe.
    The purpose of this website is to enable people who want
to think for themselves to readily find many sources of
information and analysis on many subjects— whether in the
form of brief commentaries or hour-long interviews of
knowledgeable people in electronic media. Written material is also available, ranging in size from essays to books written for either a general audience or for others seeking scholarly
studies in great depth.
    There are also whole college courses available on-line—
some free— from Hillsdale College. Students can compare
how the same subjects are taught in the college they are
attending. So can parents who are paying for their education.
More important, mobs cannot stop you from learning things
they don't want you to hear.
     You can readily sample what is available, just by clicking
on whatever subjects you might be interested in, from the list on the home page. It is an easy way to escape those who want to indoctrinate— whether on campus, in the media or
elsewhere. A free society requires free minds.

    The ultimate purpose of this website is not to simply replace particular beliefs on particular subjects with different

beliefs on those subjects. What is crucial, for young people especially, is to develop and exercise the ability to confront opposing beliefs and put those beliefs to tests of facts and logic.

    Even if all the beliefs currently being indoctrinated were completely correct, that would be of little value to people graduating from college today— with more than half a century of life ahead of them, in which new issues are almost certain to arise. At that point, knowing the correct answers to the issues of the past would be of little use, without having developed and exercised the ability to confront new opposing beliefs and test them against facts and logic.

    The history of a people or a society that succumbs to rhetoric and groupthink has often been a history of tragedies and even horrors.
