"Ward Churchill"? Sure would like to meet that subhuman, hate-America filth in an alley...
"Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens"
That was the title of the offending publication Churchill wrote. Now, I've said this before a few times, but isn't the irony of the title inescapable with regard to his current situation?
The people pushed back, and this guy's invective has come home to roost.
Brilliant piece - thanks for posting. It is difficult to imagine a sense in which Churchill is not a talentless phony, his signal scholastic virtue apparently the ability to slosh the rubes with footnotes. His portion of my generation has taken to itself the opposite of the Beatles' old advice "hate is all you need." It has, in fact, served Mr. Churchill very well.
Ping!
I kind of admire Churchill - he plays liberal academics like a violin. His Indian radical chic act has parleyed a masters degree in nothing from a no-name college into cush six-figure tenured position at a Big Twelve school. And he fleeces liberals around the country for four large a pop just to listen to him rant.
"... the resignation of Nancy Rabinowitz, director of Hamilton College's "Kirkland Project for the Study of Gender, Society and Culture," who hired Churchill to speak at Hamilton in the first place."
Bye, bye, Nancy!
Hopefully this absolute commie will be fired and sent packin'. Lets hope and pray he moves to another country like Cuba....Fidel Castro will welcome him with open arms --- at first ---.
I have a stepchild who attended UC Santa Cruz. She therefore received an education that was decidedly polemical. Consequently, to her and her boyfriend who also attended UCSC, there is simply no question that Israel is an evil intrusion on the natural rights of the Palestinian people and principally responsible for the turmoil in the Middle East, that global warming caused by human activity is beyond question, and that Fahrenheit 911 is a documentary worth seeing. To the best of my knowledge, she did not harbor such views before attending UCSC.
Some time ago she and I were engaged in discussion, and she repeated the canard that the United States distributed smallpox infested blankets to Indians on the Great Plains. Although I have long been a student of history, I had not heard that story and was frankly puzzled by it. Now, thanks to the controversy over Ward Churchill's 911 remarks and the articles about him that have been circulated on the Net, I know that he is the source of this despicable lie. I question whether this particular falsehood would have reached UCSC had it not borne the imprimatur of being the product of a professor at a major research university.
The moral here is that, when the academy ceases to be scholarly and instead becomes politicized in its staffing, structure, research, and course offerings, it ceases to produce scholars and instead produces ill-educated polemecists.

Ellis drew heavily on his experiences as a platoon leader in Viet Nam.....the only problem was, He spent his three years in the Army teaching history at the US Military Academy at West Point.
When all this came to light in 2001, he was suspended for a year and gave up an endowed chair.
Many in the academic world didn't have a problem with a liar being in a position of influence with Ellis; I fear Churchill will also receive a slap on the wrist, and be allowed to continue as before
Stuck in the 60's. Far out, man!
