Carolla, Montz and co-hosts "Bald Bryan" Bishop and Gina Grad weigh in on the impact political correctness has had on college campi, namely Brown University and Yale University. Carolla also addresses how he feels about higher learning and what he would like his children to do. The Yale professors discussed in the above exchange are Nicholas Christakis and wife Erika Christakis.

Montz sums up the documentary: "Why is it that such a small slice students able to wield such a huge amount of power? That they're able to get the university to bend to their will."



From the Friday, April 7, 2017 broadcast of The Adam Carolla Show:





BRYAN BISHOP: This is a good example of why you can't argue with the mob.



ADAM CAROLLA: It's basically mob shows up at their residence and then the husband, and boy, if you want to talk about credentials in terms of his own family, the work he's done, the diverse community he's worked with, his immediate family, so on and so forth.



BISHOP: His expertise.



CAROLLA: He goes out and tries to talk a little common sense into everybody.



BISHOP: And it goes great and that's the end of the movie.



CAROLLA: And that's the end of the movie.



[LAUGHTER]



GINA GRAD: Everybody lives happily ever after.



CAROLLA: No but it's unthinkable to me that some 19-year-old would get in his grill and say, 'Look me in the eye! Look at my face!' And it's like this is a 19-year-old. This guy is a tenured professor. What are you doing? You're not allowed to do this. When did that become okay?



ROB MONTZ, FILMMAKER: Well he's not just trying. He doesn't just engage with him. He does what the core function is supposed to be: he's making them grapple with the complexities of the issue.



BISHOP: He made one girl cry.



MONTZ: Well, it was more than just crying.



And, again, the whole idea for him is he's also someone whose basically a lifelong Democrat, has liberal political dispositions, has spent large portions of his life attempting to help healthcare in the developing world. He's not some conservative reactionary. What he's trying to get the students to recognize is that it's a very difficult gray line between outright racist costumes and something that is just supposed to be provocative in ways that are useful.



In the course of trying to discharge the core function of universities he gets an avalanche of lazy accusations of racism and then a bunch of hysterics, that's what it is. And he ends up having to step down and his wife ends up having to leave the university entirely...



CAROLLA: This is over a letter about Halloween and these people are as left, liberal, go to Guatemala and roll your sleeves up and dig a well as anybody, and they're forced to leave.



MONTZ: It's not just that. The university cuts a huge check for relatively small number of student activists. This is part of this new rage apart of elite academies -- it has happened at Brown, it has happened at Yale, it has happened at a lot of other schools -- is to cut $50 and $100 million checks for inclusivity programs. The specific contents of which are never specified.



BISHOP: It just looks better as a headline.
