Dang it, the rating people have locked his ratings so you have to login before rating him.
Of course, for the other CU professors, you don't have to have an account to rate them.

I believe as chair (he resigned that extra post last week)he also made an additional 18k per year.
Interesting article on Sangamon State University his alma mater..somewhat radical, anti vietnam in the 70's...where are Ward Churchill's band of brothers?

Exactly. Ward Churchill is a fraud. Ward Churchill is symbolic of the results of not only the "intellectual" standards of higher education to which all liberal organizations (including the National Education Association), would hold its students, the sick academic culture includes elementary and high schools. When you fill kids up with fallacies for 16 years, you produce frauds. Parents can only do so much to combat the subtle and not-so-subtle brainwashing that begins when children are very young...by the time they're in college, those earlier planted seeds have taken root. All that's necessary by the time they reach college is the liberal professors that are given the green light by the administrative weasels at the universities.
We are centrists. When you take a long look at our true core values you see that this country is conservative, therefore we are conservative centrists.
You hate the idea of federal control. But the federal govt is already so involved in higher ed. I can see where things could change 180 degrees if Congress would withhold fed funds (pell grants, scholarship, loan money) unless a university has in place a plan to increase academic diversity.
It would also help if some parents would pay more attention to what is filling up their children's minds while in the lower grades. We can't lay all the blame on the college professors/universities. Parents do play a huge part in shaping their children's thoughts.
But, sometimes, parents can only do so much....the other problem is that many, many educators and administrators (with the Churchill agenda) in the lower grades speak psycho-babble or talk down to parents as a means of intimidation because those parents who are "too" inquisitive, or "too" involved with wanting information as to the goings-on at their children's schools, are a threat to their liberal agenda. If parents don't get proper answers or have some kind of community support (i.e., other parents/parents groups), they have great difficulty in deciphering what is actually being taught vs. what they're told is being taught. A group of parents would be better able to do something about the crap being shoved down their children's throats.
If only educators would stop being "facilitators of social change" and concern themselves, instead, with educating children with computation, reading, writing, and other required skills.
The DUers love Churchill. Check out this post from 'drthais':
If you want that good ole-timey 60's radical feeling
go to C-Span and stream Ward Churchill's speech
at the U of Colorado
it was shown last night
maybe it was given a couple of nghts ago
but there was an audience of HUNDREDS
applauding and shoving fists into the air
and MAN O MAN
it felt like the good ole days
and this guy was not what he was portrayed to be
in the few little headlines
he is speaking truth to power
in your face
and I thought
here it is
here we go
it is the crack in the wall

That would be cool.
Not if you are a "protected minority." Thomas Sowell reports in "Economics and POlitics of Race" that black females (with a Ph.D. outearn all white males with a Ph.D.).
All these concerned conservatives had better be careful next thing you know they in their moral quest might end up at the doorstep of Harvard prof Joel Ignatiev.
Thank you , very much appreciated. Hillsdale was mentioned before and I will be anxious to see the Ronald Reagan University come to fruition. My daughter is well aware of my feelings about Ronald Reagan.
Conservatives need to dream a little. To imagine what the country would be like when the top education jobs go equally to conservatives, when schools' curricula include stories of America's triumphs over totalitarianism and tyranny as well as its faults. When kids are reading Shakespeare again, and Aquinas and the Articles of Confederation.
Think about kids learning and reciting the long, classic poems and finding theme after theme BESIDES "tolerate everyone."
When classroom discipline is restored and kids really do learn math and geography and languages instead of anti-bullying techniques and death education and condom-rolling 101.
Once conservatives start to dream a little, I think there would be more action.

Yes; parents need to dream....but they need to feel there's hope for those dreams too.....we need to be supportive of those who voice their concerns about what's going on in the schools....they need a voice, too....all too often, the parents are demeaned, demoralized, and denigrated for speaking out....
