How is that any worse than Ward Churchill? I detect a double standard. Is there academic immunity or not?

[speed_addiction]

He should have spoken out against America and George Bush. He would have been granted tenure.

[Clemenza]

He was an adjunct and did not have tenure.

"Socialist" must be Latin for anti-semite. National Socialists, the Code Pink Socialists, the ANSWER Socialsts, the UFPJ Socialists and NION (RCP) Socialists, all blame and hate "The JEWS".

Maybe "Socialism" is Latin for pure evil hater?

[thoughtomator]

Shouldn't really matter if this "academic freedom" thing is what it's touted to be.

[LenS]

I'm glad that they fired his Nazi arse. Now if we can just get the colleges to fire a few hundred thousand Marxists and post-modernists and we might see some real academic freedom and standards emerge again on campuses.

[Noachian]

If this professor was a member of the Socialist Workers Party, or an anarchist, would he still be dismissed?

[Kimmers]

ditto on that...

[BenLurkin]

Exactly. They both should be canned.

Equally offensive but disparate treatments.

nutty professor *ping

[Flash Bazbeaux]

Ward Churchill feels he is being picked on for calling the 9/11 victims "little Eichmans", and many rush to his defense under the rubric of "freedom of speech" and academic freedom. Yet I wonder how many of those who defend his freedom do so because they tolerate his viewpoint, but would not tolerate others.

It occurred to me that one might go to one of these Churchill pep rallies and make the arguement that American needs a BIG EICHMAN to hunt down the terrorists. Lets see how long the tolerance lasts with that suggestion.

[bahblahbah]

I personally have to blame the history channel. I swear that channel has a Hitler fetish.

[brivette]

He went wrong when he "axed" his students a question.

[nathanbedford]

Fascinating.

From the evidence the Phd, was fired not for what he did on the job but for what he thought or said off the job. Does anyone believe that he would have been fired for being a closet Marxist?

Would he be allowed to "hate" Muslim terrorists? Or would that too be unacceptable bigotry? How about hating the Tutsi of Rwanda, would that be OK? Could he have admired the Turks who committed a holocaust against the Armenians which our Senate failed to acknowledge for fear that recognition would denigrate the "real" one?

My point is not to defend Nazis but to identify the danger to us all when an academic institution, swimming in tax payer money, can control thought, restrict speech, and interfere with free association and do so with ringing applause. PC is a very unreliable prop for our liberties.

Oops - only SOME hate speech is allowed (Churchill), not just ANY ol' hate speech...

Guess this guy didn't get the memo

[liberallarry]

The guy was apparantly an excellent professor quite capable of separating his private views from required course material and of behaving decently towards all. What more can you ask?

At a university all views are to be explored (unless they're obviously nuts). Perhaps Pluss's were too incendiary and disturbing for freshmen and sophomores...but upperclassmen and graduate students should certainly be exposed to such things.

[4Liberty]

This whole sorry situation points to the folly of collectivism (collectively-provided education, especially).

Anything & everything goes, since "we" can't exclude anything, it's "society's campus."

So, everybody, EVERY "voice," gets a seat at the table
blah blah.

Taxpayers, run!!!

We need to privatize this mess right now.

[thoughtomator]

Sounds just like the UN.

[LauraleeBraswell]

Why did you name yourself after the founder of the KKK?
