Prof Praising 9/11 Terrorists on School's Chopping Block(Please voice your outrage!)
World Net Daily ^ | 2/1/2005 | World Net Daily

Posted on 02/01/2005 8:12:43 AM PST by kellynla

The fate of a tenured University of Colorado professor – who compared victims of the 9-11 World Trade Center terror attacks to Nazis, while praising the suicide hijackers for their "gallant sacrifices" – will be decided at a special meeting of the school's board of regents Thursday night.

In the meantime, Ward Churchill, who yesterday preemptively stepped down as chairman of the Ethnic Studies Department, remains a professor of Ethnic Studies and Coordinator of American Indian Studies at the Colorado school.

The controversy stems from an essay Churchill wrote titled "Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens," written shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks. In it, he describes the thousands of American victims who died in the World Trade Center inferno as "little Eichmanns" (a reference to notorious Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann) who were perpetuating America's "mighty engine of profit." They were destroyed, he added, thanks to the "gallant sacrifices" of "combat teams" that successfully targeted the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon.

The 2001 essay emerged from obscurity onto center stage when Churchill was invited recently to speak at Hamilton College, in Clinton, N.Y., near Syracuse. Hundreds of relatives of Sept. 11 victims are protesting Churchill's appearance at Hamilton, which is scheduled for Thursday. However, the college's president, Joan Hinde Stewart, assured the Associated Press that "however repugnant one might find Mr. Churchill's remarks," the college would honor his right to free speech and the show would go on.

"American victims who died in the World Trade Center inferno as "little Eichmanns" (a reference to notorious Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann) who were perpetuating America's "mighty engine of profit."

Apparently this moron really thinks the WTC was destroyed by Marxist revolutionaries. I guess that's not a great leap if he really believes the towers were populated with capitalist oppressors. No mental problems here.

The Board can make him quit. They are quite good at that kind of thing.

But I'll bet the farm they buy him out.

Why hasn't anyone considered this essay as evidence of real mental illness? Perhaps Churchill should be on medical leave pending the outcome of a mental evaluation. I suspect he's certifiable.....in which case he could then collect under a Long Term Disability Policy, be relieved of his teaching duties, and both schools could bow out of this semi-gracefully.

His mind is ill. No doubt about that.

The school may take a markedly different stance if they watch their enrollment drop by 50% or more. This kind of treason needs to carry consequences! While there most certainly is freedom of speech in this country, that speech carries responsibility and consequences.

People need to condemn this terrorist sympathizer in every way possible, in the strongest terms.

That's what Michael Savage always says. Liberalism is mental illness!
