If you investigated the credentials of of the profs at any American university you'd have a blood bath. For starters, every "___________ Studies" program would be gutted.

SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD START!!! ;)
AMEN to that!
It really chaps me that there is even such a thing as "____ studies."
When I got my degree, a guy from the Sociology department was also receiving his. He seemed like a nice enough chap. I can't recall his name, but he was obviously Indian - long hair, beads, the whole bit. His dissertation was about the special problems that Native Americans face. I do not know the extent to which his own Navajo heritage carried weight in that field, but subsequent experience convinces me that it must have been considerable. How bogus! Scholars are supposed to be objective, but in "____ studies," one's own personal experience as a member of the ___ group is usually if not always used as the final authority to silence inconvenient dissenters.
Churchill's case should underline the fact that when somebody with a Master's from an institution other than a major research university can be full professor in a field because "he are one," that the field is itself bogus. Churchill has obviously traded on his non-existent status as a Native American to succeed. Try doing that in a real field of academic endeavor.
I cannot imagine the rage that Native Americans are probably now feeling toward Professor Fraud Churchill. If so, I cannot blame them. They have been exploited too much.
Quite possibly what would be in th eBESt interest of the
Republic--I would think.Don't have much use for the College boys and girls who think that piece of paper
means they are better than others.
