David Horowitz, a champion of conservative causes who has long accused American universities of overstocking their faculties with leftists, said firing Churchill would violate his First Amendment rights and set a bad precedent.
He called instead for an inquiry into the university's hiring and promotion procedures ''to see how Ward Churchill could get to the pinnacle of the faculty, to be the chair of an entire department.''
''This isn't like a guy who was suddenly exposed,'' Horowitz said. ''This is a guy who's been out in the open for 30 years and was promoted.''
I agree. CU gets off way too easy if they fire Churchill. They hired him and then gave him tenure so he's exactly the guy they wanted.
"firing Churchill would violate his First Amendment rights"
It is a typical liberal who thinks conservative values must be cesnored, but their "free speech" should never get them into trouble.
