RMN: Churchill Has Got to Go!
Incredibly and strongly worded editorial this morning at the Rocky Mountain NewsMy guess is that university officials will "bravely" resist the impetus to fire this charletan based on Churchill's free speech rights and his tenure, as we all know, Churchill doesn't even posses the minimum education necessary to even be a university professor. Edited for delicious parts His claims of Indian ancestry, although almost certainly bogus, at least may have stemmed from family lore. Churchill should have acknowledged the truth many years ago instead of slyly trying to throw critics off his track, but it will be difficult for the committee to categorically conclude he knew all along that he was no more of an Indian than King George III. There are those who insist that the committee's conclusions will be tainted by the fact that the probe would not have occurred absent the controversy provoked by Churchill's 9/11 essay. In other words, however outrageous Churchill's misconduct, it amounts to a pretext for retribution against unpopular views. ...snip... Nonsense. The argument implies that any professor who resorted to incendiary speech would be vulnerable to similar charges. And that is simply not the case. You could comb the work of most CU professors from now till their retirement and fail to unearth any significant transgressions. Posted by: badanov 2005-06-10 |
