Ward Churchill is baaaaack!
by: Deborah Lambert, June 05, 2008
Although Ward Churchill was finally fired by the University of Colorado, Boulder for plagiarism and dishonest scholarship rather than his 9-11 remarks, you'd never know it from his website at www.wardchurchill.net, aka the “Ward Churchill Solidarity Network,” dedicated to “Defending Academic Freedom and Political Dissent.”
The site includes a petition to reinstate Ward Churchill, and a statement of support from Noam Chomsky....

Obama VP?
Maybe not VP, but I hear he needs a new “spiritual compass” having lost two of them somewhere along the way(ward bus.)
The thing is....if the university accepts him back...he is totally vested and back at square one on the payscale. To move anywhere else...means he has to restart the vesting scheme with the new college....and its a fair amount of time to recover.
Turds like him keep floating to the surface.
bttt
Because he's full of hot air.
“Academic Freedom and Political Dissent”
= non-productive, talentless $hit-disturber.
We are all free to exercise our “freedom” and express our “political dissent”.
Tenured college professors feel they should somehow not have to pay the consequences when they do so publicly.
Yer “buddy” is back in the news again
Churchill was found guilty of deliberate false assertions, misrepresentation of sources, and plagiarism.
Among other things, Churchill was found guilty of passing off others’ work as his own (plagiarism), but also of passing off his own work as others’.
This “permits the author to create the false appearance that his claims are supported by other scholars when, in fact, he is the only source for such claims”...
The Fake Indian is back to his business..... Can we send him to North Korea yet???
I solidly believe in Free Speech. I solidly believe in the repercussions of that free speech. No one should be insulated from the disturbing and asinine things they say. We all should be held to the same standard.
Because he’s full of hot air.
No, it’s something else.
Sounds like he’s qualified for a full professorship with tenure at any Ivory Tower league institution of lower learning.
The conclusion one must draw from such examples isn’t that every institution has its bad apples but rather that, at least in the liberal arts in America, moral turpitude and political hucksterism pervades higher education.
Radical criminals with questionable academic credentials flourish in a milieu that bristles with hostility toward real scholars who don’t toe the party line—witness the case of former Harvard President Lawrence Summers.
Individuals with prison records or FBI rap sheets don’t get into major educational institutions because they fudge their resumes.
They get in because they share the political dogmas of those who hire them—and they flourish for the same reason.

And the difference between this and sedition is?
And which does Ward Churchhill's ranting and raving more closely resemble? "Dissent" or "Sedition"? Or "Treason" in a time of war by giving aid and comfort to the enemy?
Can we use the WWII definition of treason? Too few traitors have been brought to trial since then (Jane Fonda being an obvious target who was excused).
Take, for example, Bernardine Dohrn and her husband Bill Ayers. Dohrn is a law professor at Northwestern, while Ayers holds the title “Distinguished Professor” at the University of Illinois, Chicago. In their youth both joined the Weatherman underground, a group that “managed to bomb the U.S. Capitol building, New York City Police Headquarters, the Pentagon, and the National Guard offices in Washington, D.C.”
Far from being on the periphery of this organization, Dohrn and Ayers were active members. Indeed, both were pursued by the FBI throughout the ‘70s. According to a Horowitz researcher, only a “technicality” for improper surveillance prevented the pair from receiving serious jail time for their crimes.
Moreover, neither professor has denounced the activities they supported years ago.
The school should investigate an exchange program for students and send Ward Churchhill there to help set it up in North Korea. He can preach dissent there all he wants. For as long as he is able.
Bill Ayers has said he’d wished he done (even) more.
Of his bomb-detonating days Ayers commented, “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” That comment, ironically enough, was published by the New York Times in the edition that was delivered to the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.
Dohrn, by contrast, now claims to have been “joking” when she celebrated the brutal Sharon Tate murders that were carried out by members of Charles Manson’s clan: “Dig it! ... This same person now directs the Children and Family Justice Center at Northwestern and spends her professional time, along with her husband, working to prevent the punishment of violent juvenile offenders.
