Luann Wright, founder and president of NoIndoctrination.org, a Web site devoted to policing professors accused of harassing conservative students in their classrooms, firmly believes that what she's doing is a public service. "The university should be a market place of ideas, a safe place to explore a variety of perspectives," she says. "'But I don't see that happening." What she sees, she says, is fear--"There's so much of it out there." Everyday, Wright, a writer of science curricula for the gifted and a mother, says she talks to the fearful: the students scared they won't get the recommendations that would pave their way to graduate school or the professions: the professors who dare not speak freely in their own departments. Dr. Alvin Tillery, assistant professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame, agrees about the fear and intimidation. The catch is that he thinks Wright and her Web site are their source. After a student complaint landed him on NoIndoctrination.org in early July, Yillery says he found himself not only unable to refute the posting (due to what Wright calls a server error, the rebuttal did not post until Feb. 17, 2004) but also exposed to a barrage of e-mail from conservative readers apparently unconnected to but certainly angered by what they read on the site. After his rebuttal was finally posted to the Web site on Feb. 17, Tillery expressed regret the student in question never challenged him, as other conservative students at Notre Dame have. After finally seeing Tillery's rebuttal, the student sent this e-mail to Luann Wright: "I am very upset to tell you that Prof. Tillery outright lied in his rebuttal. He tried to play off his attempt to indoctrinate his students as humor, which is a gross misrepresentation of what occurred. Mr. Tillery is an extreme liberal and his stated mission is to win as many converts as possible. He turned the classroom into his pulpit, which is the very essence of indoctrination." And so the culture wars continue.
