I saw the movie, liked it and wonder how many nay sayers saw more than the trailer? Not everyone will agree with his views. Many will. His deductions however are verifiable.

His biggest point is a word picture that compares much of academia enclose by a Berlin Wall mindset. This is arguably true. No amount of reason is going to change peoples minds when they don't want to change. It's easier just to put up the wall. Safer too. It's easier to punish those with questions than answer them. Some will think they are doing right by preventing free speech and free exchange of ideas. I believe it was Joseph Stalin who said "We don't let our people have guns, why would we let them have ideas". Where theres a will, there's a wall. ;-)
