Fun trailer on Indoctrinate U
Starting back to school? Wanna major in science? Go to Indoctrinate U and forget all the questions you wrestle with. As columnist David Limbaugh writes,
Tom Bethell, in his Politically Incorrect Guide to Science, quotes author Michael Crichton as saying that consensus science "is an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had."
"Wallet? What wallet? We don't know nothing about no wallet. And if you had a wallet, that was against The Rules."
