This governmental interference with the content of Mr. Churchill's constitutionally protected opinions tramples on fundamental American values

The way I understand it, Comrade Churchill has had all the free speech he could stand. He's well published, has an internet site, is paid to spew his throw up around the country. How much free-er can his speech get?

If an employer doesn't want him employed any longer, then that's a different matter. Lots of employers let people go when their positions become irrelevant. He is free to speak freely after he is terminated, nobody said he couldn't.

So if I say, "all liberals are little America-loathing Stalins" on a college campus the ACLU will back me up? Wow!

He can say anything he wants. And the University of Colorado can fire him all they want.

Let's get a professor teaching that the ACLU is a communist organization and see if the ACLU will defend their right of speech!

The First Amendment of the U. S. Constitution protects Ward Churchill's right to speak or write his opinions and it protects the rights of his detractors to say they do not like what he wrote or said.

I totally agree. If, however, he tries to pass that off as teaching in his classroom then he should be fired.

I hear you. Our principles have been so corrupted by activist courts for so long that they are now used as weapons against us. Villainous rabblerousers are held up as freedom fighters when the Founding Fathers would have hung them from the nearest tree. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way treason became synonymous with dissent.

Unfortunately, common sense in this country has been bulldozed by the focus on the "sensitivity" of others.

...canceling speaking engagements and threats of losing his job are not appropriate responses to Ward Churchill's opinions, even if you believe they are outrageous

Sorry, ALCU. The Amendment guarantees free speach. It does not guarantee a right to be heard.

If a group haires someone to speak before them and then finds out that the hired speaker is crazier than a $hi* house rat, they have every right to cancel.

The Constitution does not require any government, including its universities, to withhold judgment as to the suitability of its employees, including tenured professors.

Judgments about suitability may certainly be based on an employee's actions and statements that arise from employment. Judgments may also be based on actions that occur outside the employment situation, as they provide evidence about the suitability of the person for continued employment.

Ward Churchill actions and statements are clearly incompatible with the role of scholar, educator and university department head. He should be fired expeditiously.

The Regents should take care that the Chancellor's investigation of Mr. Churchill's competence is not a fishing expedition to find something - anything - to use as an excuse to fire him.

The ACLU: just a bunch of little Eichmanns.
