Text of Resolution

WHEREAS, The tragedy of September 11, 2001, marked one of the darkest days in American history; and

WHEREAS, The terrorist attacks cost more than 3,000 innocent people their lives; and

WHEREAS, The pain of the families who lost loved ones in the September 11, 2001, attacks is immeasurable; and

WHEREAS, The healing process for those who lost a family member in the September 11, 2001, attacks is still ongoing; and

WHEREAS, It is important for the people of Colorado to aid in and support that healing process; and

WHEREAS, Professor Ward L. Churchill's essay, "Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens" related to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, strikes an evil and inflammatory blow against America's healing process; and

WHEREAS, Professor Churchill's essay contains a number of statements and contentions that are deplorable and do not reflect the values of the people of the State of Colorado; and

WHEREAS, Professor Churchill's essay, which claims that the victims at the World Trade Center were not innocent, states, "As for those in the World Trade Center, ... well, really, let's get a grip here, shall we? True enough, they were civilians of a sort. But Innocent, Gimme a break." And Professor Churchill goes on to compare the innocent victims of the September 11, 2001, attacks to Adolph Eichmann, the man who executed Hitler's plan to exterminate the Jews during World War II; and

WHEREAS, The sentiment of these statements strikes at the hearts of those who lost a loved one in the World Trade Center attack; and

WHEREAS, The victims at the World Trade Center were innocent in every sense of the word and should always be remembered as innocent victims of an unprovoked attack on America; now, therefore,

Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Sixty-fifth General Assembly of the State of Colorado, the Senate concurring herein:

(1) That the General Assembly expresses its heartfelt sympathy for the victims of the September 11, 2001, tragedy and their families; and

(2) That the General Assembly commemorates the lives lost during the September 11, 2001, attacks.

Be It Further Resolved, That copies of this Joint Resolution be sent to University of Colorado President Elizabeth Hoffman, the University of Colorado at Boulder Chancellor's office, the University of Colorado Board of Regents, and University of Colorado at Boulder Department of Ethics Chairman Ward L. Churchill.

If the 'pubs keep this up (and I hope they do), Ward "little Eichmann" Churchill will become the Democrats OFFICIAL Poet Laureate.... following in the stead of Amiri Baraka of New Jersey. Racist, anti-semitic, nutjob *EDUCATOR* of mush minds.

[Cicero]

Actually the real question is not freedom of speech, but what kind of education is he giving the kids in his class?

It sounds to me as if he is not only teaching them hatred and subversion, but that he is an incompetent.

There's a real question whether there is any place in college for departments of ethnic studies. This is not the kind of department that does real research or teaching, it's the kind of department that plays politics and fans racial hatred.

Black history can be taught in history departments. Black literature can be taught in literature departments. The same goes for Indian history, literature, myths, art, and so forth.

The House of Commons eventually grew to love him, though.

The real question ought to be, "Who hired this lunatic, and why?" Was he hired for diversity because he claims to be an Indian? It's time we ask the university administrators to justify their hiring decisions when it becomes obvious that anti-Americans are brain-washing our youth in their institutions. Texas needs to fire the person who hired Dr. Jensen, a flaming communist at tu.

Churchill has a right to free speech but taxpayers do not have to subsidize his views... The Colorado chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union... legal director Mark Silverstein said,"Certainly the First Amendment protects his ability to write freely and speak freely, especially when the writing in question occurred outside his classroom duty."

Guess again, a-hole. Since the SCOTUS has been ruling that the majority view doesn't have constitutional protection of this kind, the majority has the right to pull the plug on some BS vomited forth by a hater of the majority.

That's "the political seduction of the law" that Robert Bork tried to warn you about. A-hole.

Passed UNANIMOUSLY in a legislature now controlled by the Democrats.

[cookcounty]

Turns out Churchill is NOT and Indian, he's just a pathetic wannabe. I wonder if UC-Boulder will give him the hatche----, er, "axe" for lying on his resume. He was kicked out of the LEFT wing A.I.M. in the early 90's for his fabrications.

He also claimed to be in Vietnam, which looks suspicious. As a public relations officer. And another time as an airborne recon guy. Could he be Gloria Steinham in disguise?

see American Digest: Cherokee wannabe.

[John Lenin]

Fire this pinhead, it's not about freedom of speech it's about freedom to fire somoeone who has hurt your image.

[ohioWfan]

This is the face of evil.....

[NoClones]

"...The university's Board of Regents plans to meet Thursday to discuss Churchill's status..."

They should fire that traitor's unworthy butt!
