After watching “Indoctrinate U” last night, this message on my neighborhood listserv takes on a lot more meaning, and not in a good way:

Hello – I hope you have already heard about this but I wanted to make sure that you did. As part of Duke’s overall Focus the Nation events on Jan. 31st we are planning a critical mass bike ride around campus on Thursday morning at 10:30am. Here is the link to more info about the event and the whole day – http://www.duke.edu/sustainability/2008-01-21FTN.html

I would really appreciate it if you could help get the word out to the Durham Bike community about this event – we welcome their participation. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks.

Sustainability. Community. Focus the Nation. Block car traffic any way you can. Any agendas here? And these political axes are being ground by the university’s paid employees.
