Churchill Should be Fired

I have not blogged anything about this guy -- professor Ward Churchill. Mainly because I did not feel, I could put into words the total disgust I feel for what he said and obviously stands for. However, it appears the University of Colorado is starting the procedures to take proper action. Let's hear from all you that defend his freedom of speech, but let me tell you I defend his freedom of speech but I defend the University's freedom to say who represents them, and when Mr. Churchill made these despicable views public as a professor of the University he opened himself up for whatever action they choose... My opinion of course!

AURORA, Colo. - University of Colorado administrators Thursday took the first steps toward a possible dismissal of a professor who likened World Trade Center victims to a notorious Nazi.

Interim Chancellor Phil DiStefano ordered a 30-day review of Ward Churchill's speeches and writings to determine if the professor overstepped his boundaries of academic freedom and whether that should be grounds for dismissal.

Also Thursday, the Board of Regents issued an apology for Churchill's remarks at a meeting and voted to support the university's review of Churchill.
