The firing of Ward Churchill for academic incompetence and fraud is long overdue. The fact that the chairman of the Colorado University regents said it was "not an easy decision to make" reminds us how this scandal lifts the lid on the vast corruption of the academic process that tenured radicals have accomplished in the last several decades. Churchill had no academic credential to be hired in the first place. His degree was an MA in graphic arts -- he was a painter -- bestowed by a rinky dink experimental college which is now defunct. He got an affirmative action job designated for "native Americans" even though he is an Anglo-Saxon and his tribal membership was also based on his extremist leftwing views and has since been repudiated by the tribe in question. It took the national scandal of his infamous 9/11 essay to get the university to even address his malfeasance. The scandal led to the convening of a panel of professors who found that Churchill was a liar, a plagiarist, and not a scholar at all. The entire Ethnic Studies department at Colorado U is composed of Churchill clones and worshippers, but don't hold your breath that anyone is going to look into their academic performance. And Churchill will have his day in court aided by the American Civil Liberties Union which shares his belief that America is the Great Satan and should be brought down by every means possible.
I’m surprised they’re as strong as this. LOL
— he was a painter —
Hmmmm, who else was a painter before becoming an extremist fanatical demagogue (hint hint, nudge nudge)?
In sixty years or so we have gone from Winston Churchill to Ward Churchill...scary
A classic example of how LIBERALISM has taken over and destroyed the standards of credible and respectable education institutions. I should not have taken anywhere near this long to get rid of this disgusting traitor and radical extremist. And to think that parents pay good money to send their kids FOR EDUCATION in places that harbor trash like this.
Justice was finally served but not fast enough and not with the right attitude. Witness liberal academia.
‘I knew Churchill lacked a PhD but I didn’t know his academic credentials were as weak as this.’
If he had been vociferously defending the Bush administration and castigating those that attacked us, the MSM would have ENSURED you knew about it.
I think the bastard plagiarized that name too.
The ‘college’ he went to did not even have times and days that classes were to meet. It was a do your own hippie dippy thing. Totally bogus. As for his ‘painting’, I’ve seen several. They are derivative, lifeless and devoid of any expession of talent. If Van Gogh painted like him he would have shot himself after the first attempt.
Eric Idle?
Some of them aren’t his!!!
KaWARDjah was a wooden indian...
Say no more, squire!!
So I joined the cavalry.... :)
Dr. Ward Churchill attempts to bum a ride out of Boulder after firing.
—Eric Idle?—
That’s “demagogue”, not “monologue” :-P
If there's one thing I most dispise, it's a liar.
sheesh. : )
Thats what I ment by ‘derivitive’. The man hasn’t a single original thought in his head. Imitation as flattery surely dosen’t apply to him. When I worked in another Artists style I did it as study so as to learn and I made it obvious. The very idea of selling them as original never even crossed my mind. Except for a few I destroyed them all.
