We should not be distracted by the silly tempest over Ward Churchill. The real problem, God help us, is that most institutions of "higher learning" are thoroughly riddled with radicals who are indoctrinating the next generation.
yeah, if any husband is this cheap, well he deserves more than hell. Is his book in print?
It certainly worked in Colorado.
You have a very astute and analytical way of distilling the essences from these scenarios. I find your premise well constructed and highly likely.
Right. Churchill is the tip of a very ugly iceberg.
Note in the article how his Indianess is regarded as a unique qualification for the job. That no white man would have gotten this job. Now that part amazes me. What is a white man was the best, most knowledgeable, most scholarly person who had studied, written about, researched Indian studies. What if he were a fabulous teacher, had 18 books and innumerable articles about Indian Studies? Would he be disqualified solely on the basis of his "whiteness". That is wrong, just wrong.
Academia is busted. We know that, they know it, they know we know. And we are on the case. I have hopes.
Re-posting Bert's observation....
"The educational establishment (RACKET) has nothing to do with learning or teaching or education.
The educational establishment exists soley to allow educators to draw salaries and develop their leftist positions."
and to destroy Western Civilization on the promise that the world will then be ruled by George Soros and a Committee of Leftist Intellectuals of his choosing.
Sounds like NAZIs to me. And remember those who went along with this promise were tossed up the chimney. We who do not HEED HISTORY are condemned to RE-LIVE that same HISTORY. Back to the future!
about 1980 ward churchill tangled with the head of the print area and the head of the art department, both studio artists. they told him no. he was very angry about it.
he wanted night time access to the printing presses.
but all that stuff's used by fine arts majors at night. while the classes are in the day, the students work at night. there's freedom at night, music, peer groups, etc that young people like.
some students go throught the motions, others get involved. those involved typically work all night doing lithography, etching, silkscreen or serigraphs, photo processes, etc.
these are labor-intensive. many of the good printing students don't do well in academic courses and compensate by spending a full work week in the printing rooms.

General Custer feels your pain.
Everybody seems to be lying except him.
In case anyone hasn't seen it, here is a link to a long thread about Ward and his abuse of copyright laws.

O'Rilley will be taking about this Monday night.
Thanks.
I do have a small bias here having three daughters and watching over the years how liberal men, usually, are seductive and would use them and their naivete in a heart beat. And one went to CU Boulder. She had wonderful people there who were important to her academically. Some Profs there were so good, so smart and so inspiring to her. Ward Churchill taught her an elective and I heard about him for an entire semester. She was astounded at him so way back in the 90's I was aware of this guy. She called me once and told me that to go to his office to question something, she had to bring him a pack of cigarets, I am not makiing this up!! She had an "a" in his class and failed the final paper. I wrote about this on FR. Her paper was very good but conflicted with his ideas about Indians. Needless to say she is enjoyiing this whole flap immensely.
That said CU is not full of wild eyed fanatics. There are some good people there but they just aren't the ones getting attention. Ethnic studies is a sewer. She was in a science major and that part of the University is good, very good.
just a cursory look at some of these newspaper reports about churchill -- don't prove -- but indicate some problems with women.
It's my CATS who have the tooth problems. My vet says that dental decay and gingivitis seem to be hereditary in Siamese cats. I brushed my big boy's teeth every week (with chicken flavored toothpaste) he still had to have them all pulled except for one lower canine (he looks like that snaggle-toothed Siamese cat in the cartoon).
Ward is going to be walking along a highway drunk soon. The man's world is ending. I would like to see Ehtnic studies, Gender Studies, Women's Studies ended too. They belong in nigh symposiums put on by private girl's schools who need to feel good about their "inclusiveness" not major universities.
There's nowhere left to hide.
The onus of the situation is on them, and them alone.
They MUST terminate his dubious services.
So what happened when WC tangled with them? Did he lose or win? And who was accused of insensitivity, bigotry and racism?
Lets be perfectly honest about the left.
They are no more interested in advancing minorities than the KKK. They are only interested in advancing their propoganda and their own self interests.
They have found that using minorities (especially blacks and native Americans) to advance communist ideas and gain power is quite effective.
They learned a long time ago that only deceit and subterfuge would allow their ideas to go forward. They also had to gain access to education and history books.
What history book tells the real story of slavery? That it was black Africans that sold their own people into slavery.
That native Americans owned slaves that they bought with the money they received when the govt moved them to the Indian Nations?
That slavery is alive and well today.
You are so right. Every since the 70's the humanities departments have gradually been infiltrated by leftists and their fellow travelers. Math and science professors are not concerned so much with philosophical or political concepts so they have remained legitimate dispensers of knowledge.
