Oklahoma University Teaches its Teachers How to Indoctrinate Students

Oklahoma University teachers are being trained to violate their students’ constitutional rights. This link includes an audio recording on which you can repeatedly hear unconstitutional indoctrination techniques being taught to the teachers. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education has contacted OU to put the university on notice. Here’s the problem:

The workshop in question trains instructors on how to eliminate disfavored but constitutionally protected expression from the classroom and guide assignments and discussion into preferred areas — all for unambiguously ideological and viewpoint-based reasons. . . . By limiting classroom discussion and silencing dissent, professors violate the rights of conscience of their students. The clear aim is not merely to advocate a point of view but to coerce, if necessary, their students into believing the professor’s or school’s version of truth. Such oppressive actions clearly cross the line between education and indoctrination.
