Episode Number: 4There are schools in this country both on the radical right and the radical left. Why do they serve up this form of indoctrination to their students? What do they teach and why do they feel it is essential they teach it? Radical left schools are springing up all over the country, especially around the campuses of established universities. Their courses run the gamut from "American history are seen through the Marxist Dialectic" to "Are the poor agents of social changes" to "The uses of hallucinogenic drugs." Schools on the right teach a laissez faire form of economics long considered obsolete by economists and politicians. Some of these schools seem to preach a concept of no need for government at all. Visited were Rampart College in Larkspur, Colorado; Harding College, Searcy, Arkansas; The Free University of New York; A new Left school in Palo Alto, and others. Appearing on the program are: Robert LeFevre, Dean of Rampart College; Dr. Clifton Ganus, President of Harding College; Dr. George Benson, Head of the National Education Program, a promulgator of extremely conservative political and economic propaganda throughout the country; Allen Krebs, head of the Free University of New York; Ed Richer, who attempted to found a Free University in Gainesville, Florida, and who describes the frustrations of such an attempt in a conservative southern town.
