This guy teaches Ethics??

What's ethical about claiming a heritage you don't have?

Shouldn't there be (tenured or not) some standards that if you teach ethics, you actually have ethics?

Excellent take on Churchill,

except this unwanted scrutiny seems to be bringing to light that indeed the ethics studies professor is less than ethical, beyond the issue of his native American status

I did hear that UC was going to review all his writings because it appears Mr. Churchill has a little problem with plagiarism and making up facts.......

gasp.....gee he's seem like such an honest grounded in reality kind of guy, NOT

of course I hear cheating and plagiarism are no biggy in the left leaning world of academia anymore - I refer to the big Harvard Law cheating school scandal as one example

I am hearing more and more about teachers who give their students failing grades for plagiarism and their useless parents browbeating even public school and high school principals until they reverse the failing grade - in my day, my parents would have punished me more severely than the school for such indiscretions, of course I would have never even dared nor considered cheating in school.....then again I was smart so I guess I didn't have to cheat, LOL

I remember a teacher in the US quit last year because the kids were told right at the time of the assignment, you will fail if you are caught plagiarizing off the internet

sure enough a bunch of kids did ( please children footnotes are not that hard - footnoting and paraphrasing are not difficult skills) and their parents moaned and groaned so the kids didn't get a failing grade, by order of the principal so the teacher quit because the administration didn't back her up and she couldn't countenance the bad message being sent......

ain't it ironic, the left leaning world of academia is in fact actively creating the next generation of Enron executives.......and NY Times journalists, oops.....
