From a piece on American Thinker posted here by LindyBill: <<While it is tempting to dismiss Ward Churchill, professor of American Indian Studies at the University of Colorado, as a fanatical fringe character of no particular significance, he is in fact a prolific and influential author on topics such as white genocide against aboriginals, the FBI Cointelpro program against black nationalists, and the American Indian Movement (AIM). Churchill has been a foremost spokesperson on aboriginal issues since the 70's. A student roaming the Internet for information about the FBI and its Cointelpro program will encounter Churchill's point of view and very little else. The history textbooks used by public schools today owe more to Churchill's point of view on the colonization of the New World than say, Dinesh D'Souza's. His world view would hardly raise an eyebrow in any major newsroom. Of course Western Civilization is a catalogue of repression, genocide and torture. Yawn.>> From your response to me: "There is really nothing to fear about Ward Churchill and people like him." IMO Churchill is far more dangerous than some lefty liberal mouthing disgusting inanities. Our children are being infected by this kind of crap from people like him. While firing him might not stop him from publishing, it might help a little to discredit him.
