We learned yesterday that veterans of the United States Army and Marine Corps who have fought for their country and have been awarded the Bronze Star, the Silver Star, the Navy Cross and other decorations are too controversial to be allowed inside a public high school in Minnesota...
SMSU is a public, taxpayer-funded institution, just like Forest Lake High School. Forest Lake students who go there will be safe, no doubt, from whatever dangers are posed by touring veterans who want to talk about their experiences in America's armed forces.
But ...
The Sesquicentennial, if you missed the reference, is the 150th anniversary of Minnesota's statehood. Minnesota joined the union in 1858, just in time for its young men to participate, with rarely equalled heroism, in the Civil War.
It appears, though, that the Sesquicentennial "celebration" will be hijacked by the Left, and won't be a celebration at all.
Here is the piece de resistance:
7 p.m.: Dr. Ward Churchill, genocide scholar, ”Genocide and the Dakota People"
So Ward Churchill--fake Indian, fake academic, two-bit leftist hate peddler fired by the University of Colorado for academic fraud--is now calling himself a "genocide scholar!"
I'm guessing, though, that he won't be talking about the genocide that the Dakota carried out, pretty successfully, against the Pawnee.
It would be interesting to know how much Churchill is being paid for his appearance, and whether Minnesotans' tax dollars are paying the tab. As a Minnesota taxpayer, I have a personal interest in the question.
Be that as it may, the contrast couldn't be starker: in Minnesota, our decorated veterans are unwelcome in public educational institutions, whereas demonstrably fraudulent charlatans like Ward Churchill are welcomed with open arms. As long as they are anti-American.

When did Ward Churchill receive a doctorate degree?

Ward Churchill: fake Indian, fake scholar, real dogs##t
No
Wonder if old Ward is gonna get into any of that, or how Lincoln's pardoning of almost all the Santee Sioux from Little Crow's War equals genocide. What a putz.
It helps of course that his liberal audience has the intellectual critical capacity of a bag of potatoes.
Any mention of the 800 Minnesotans massacred by the Sioux in August and September of 1862?
And let us not forget the 27th of 27 “Facts submitted to a candid world” concerning the actions of “the present King of Great Britain”:
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

What a joke. Either these people don’t read the papers, or they do and they are complete idiots.
Ward makes money spreading these lies.

Churchill: “Fragging an officer has a much more impactful effect”
Ward Churchill has made some more despicable comments. This time, he is advocating military personnel to “roll a grenade under their line officer.”
Churchill: “For those of you who do, as a matter of principle, oppose war in any form, the idea of supporting a conscientious objector who’s already been inducted in his combat service in Iraq might have a certain appeal.
But let me ask you this: Would you render the same level of support to someone who hadn’t conscientiously objected, but rather instead rolled a grenade under their line officer in order to neutralize the combat capacity of their unit?”
“...Conscientious objection removes a given piece of cannon fodder from the fray. Fragging an officer has a much more impactful effect.” - Ward Churchill, Portland, Oregon- 6/23/05

Churchill was found guilty of deliberate false assertions, misrepresentation of sources, and plagiarism.
Among other things, Churchill was found guilty of passing off others’ work as his own (plagiarism), but also of passing off his own work as others’.
This “permits the author to create the false appearance that his claims are supported by other scholars when, in fact, he is the only source for such claims”...
I can’t believe that anyone wants to hear what this traitorous, hateful, lying fraud has to say.
