Oh, I thought this was about Ward Churchill.
What about his "academic freedom"?
Repeat after me: "Commies good, Nazis bad"
/sarcasm
He probably got hired because he was vocal about his dislike for Republicans and Israel.
Yep, Communists cannot abide competition from Nazis... Or from anyone else for that matter.
That was probably a very hard decision on the part of the university...
If that is true,
I'd take him over the 80% of the LIBERALS who have infested schools..ANYTIME.
Maybe Ward knows where the bodies are buried.
Good, now let's start on the Communists.
Sounds to me like he didn't yet have tenure, so he had to contain his teaching to a more orthodox point of view. Once he was awarded tenure, who'd have been able to control what ideas he taught ?
I'd presume if he started spouting off Nazism and racial hatred he would be out of the job with or without tenure.
Of course, I could be niave.
A Nazi of French descent?
Its not politics, its hate mongering,' Snyder said. Its just hatred directed at the very students he taught. His position would be untenable on the basis of student welfare. Its our job to see to it that students are treated with respect and security.
So the college will fire Communists, as well? Sure, they will.
Why is Communism any more acceptable than Naziism?
"A Nazi of French descent?"
France has lots of Nazis.
Bear in mind that French authorities rounded up more Jews than did the Gestapo during WW2. The French were pretty enthusiastic about killing Jews and Americans during the war. The fairy tales about the "Resistance" don't tell you that most of the partisans were Communists.
Most of the French were pretty keen on Naziism and there was no shortage of French volunteers in the Wehrmacht, the SS, the Kriegsmarine, or in the death camps.
There are probably far more actual Nazis (skip the 'neo' tag, if you will) in France right now than in the rest of the world combined.
Stop trying to differentiate between what is pure evil.
Both Nazism and Communism have no redeemable value whatsoever.
