Yack, yack, yack, yack, yack. He's fighting for his survival, pathetic creature that he is. If you read his writings, one theme is always obvious: The victimization/victim aspect. (Native Americans are victims, he is a victim, his wife was a victim, society is a victim, etc.) Only a mentally unbalanced person sees everything from that viewpoint. He needs serious psychiatric care, and the fact that the college lets this sick person go on to teach and spread his twisted theories...and protects him...is a crime. This is not a matter of "free speech," anymore. That issue only brought the problem of Ward Churchill to light. This is a matter of allowing someone who is obviously a fraud (i.e. Questionable heritage, military record), has committed plagiarism and artistic fraud, and who is mentally skewed have the opportunity to skew pliable minds. His writings, although punctuated with "million dollar words," are nonsense ramblings of deranged thought. He appeals to the naiveté of college students, many of whom he can overwhelm with his gibberish (many of whom, after all, still cling to their stuffed animals and have only just left home). All he really incites in them is their pity and desire to protect him, as they would a lost puppy. Ward has become their suffering, little, misunderstood "cause." His appeal with students exists because he plays the role of the wounded so well, and they, simply because of their youth and inexperience, are too immature to recognize him for the psychotic manipulator that he really is.
He does not offer well-thought out solutions, instead he only projects disdain for, and abhorrence of the actions of authorities, government, citizens, medical professionals, etc. throughout the works that I have read. He is boring to the N'th degree! And, as typical with someone so disturbed, he cannot handle challenge, nor respond to criticism in a logical, humble, intelligent, composed manner. He immediately reveals his insecurities by displays of childish behavior, caustic comments, finger-pointing, and then reverts to envelope himself in the blanket of pity that his students willingly provide.
However, one interesting point in this recent defensive piece of Churchill. He purports to uphold the U.S. Constitution! Then why did he not sign the form agreeing to do so as required by the university?
This sociopath "Ward" needs to be given a room in a mental ward!
