"women of color" invited him - what, no white women? That is discrimination!
"At the invitation of the New School's Women of Color student group,"
*sigh*
Have they fired Wacky Ward yet? Or is the situation at his University still hanging?
LOL.
Presiding Bishop Jefferts Schori of TEC must be a graduate of The New School (aka Moonbat University, Greenwich Village Campus).
As a student or parent, this is where I would have a problem. If they want to use private money for him to rant, fine. But taking tuition money for him to spread his vitriolic anti-Americanisim--there has to be legal recourse to stop it. Some students/parents don't want their tuition money going to this guy.
The University of Colorado's report on the investigation of Ward Churchill's alleged scholarly misconduct has just been released.
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 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.

They misspelled 'Womyn'.
"...Ward Churchill would do himself some good to express a profound apology to people he has offended and misled.
He should also come clean about his appropriated American Indian identity. "

Right. This was also approved by the national election in November. Not an isolated incident.
Is Jeremy a "Woman of Color?"
SWEET Ann Coulter takes another look at the Ward Churchill controversy:
Tenure was supposed to create an atmosphere of open debate and inquiry, but instead has created havens for talentless cowards who want to be insulated from life.
Rather than fostering a climate of open inquiry, college campuses have become fascist colonies of anti-American hate speech, hypersensitivity, speech codes, banned words and prohibited scientific inquiry.
Even [leftists] don't try to defend Churchill on grounds that he is Galileo pursuing an abstract search for the truth.
They simply invoke "free speech," like a deus ex machina to end all discussion.
Like the words "diverse" and "tolerance," "free speech" means nothing but: "Shut up, we win."
Whitehead had his own take on diversity. By his thinking, diversity is not a survival trait. Society should have complexity, but not through diversity. Diversity as a means of satisfying individual wants leads to a society that can collapse and die if somebody sneezes.
Ward Churchhill: fale Indian. Bob Kerrey: Fake American.
