Nearly 200 University of Colorado faculty members have bought a full-page newspaper ad demanding that school officials halt their investigation of Ward Churchill's work.

They don't want to see the spokeman for their socialist party taken away from their Univerity.

[squirt-gun]

Read "Man Without A Country"...A 19th century man who made public statements of hatred for America and was later surprised to find himself sentenced to spend the rest of his life on Navy ships, never to set foot in this country again.

Why not Mr. Churchill?

"It is going to be extremely difficult, if academic freedom is on the block, for us to hire and keep good faculty members," she said."

Sounds like she thinks a kook like Ward Churchill is what the students of CU deserve. Too many education degrees will do that to you every time.

Churchill's "right to speak what he believes to be the truth"

Oh, wouldn't the left and other mental degenerates flip out if indeed this was a "right" extended to one and all?

What if "my truth" is that all leftist-democrats-socialist-whatevers should be put to death. Would I be hailed as a free citizen expressing the truth as I see it, or would I be a "hate crime" statistic?

The only gas that runs the engine of the left is the insistence that the truth is not the truth unless it seems like the truth because the true truth is subjective and should not be allowed to exist in its true form, and that is the truth.

Funny how the press jumps all over this sap who asked friendly questions of the president and investigates him to beat the band, but defends the free speech rights of this communist and liar.

It always comes back to ideology. Freedom of speech for me but not for thee...

"They gotta start somewhere," observed Ed, as he saw the prof's BA in PoliSci.

("Education and the Social Order?" Parody would be lost on these people.)

Education and the Social Order: Interesting topic, I may just wander over to the library and see what they say. Surely they don't have a blueprint for "changing the social order thru taking over the universities, dumbing down the students, seducing the faculty with blandishments and hiding their secrets, and destroying the country from within"..Maybe I am nuts, but I will bet a perusal of her syllabus would tell us alot!

You are very good!

Since when did the right to free speech mean you could falsify credentials, steal other's work, lie on resumes, etc. I wonder, could he rob a bank and that be part of his free speech?

I don't think that worked for the Weather Underground.

tenure was created after ww2 by leftists for leftists.

while taxpayers that support universities have virtually no job security, professors do.

Nearly 200 University of Colorado faculty members have bought a full-page newspaper ad demanding that school officials halt their investigation of Ward Churchill's work. The ad is scheduled to run in Monday's Daily Camera. ----- The petitioners paid a total of nearly $1,600 of their own money to place the ad.

Gee, don't break the bank!

Nearly 200 University of Colorado faculty members have bought a full-page newspaper ad demanding that school officials halt their investigation of Ward Churchill's work.

This should be a clarion call to anyone with half a brain to start an investigation into ALL of their "work", not just Churchills.

Let's find out just what these "educators" don't want us to know about what they do.

....ethnically diverse, gifted, artistically creative, and language minority students....

Sounds like she's a white-hater.
