Free Speech
I have been reading many articles and memos and posts about how Ward Churchill should be fired or not and this is all because he used his free speech to stir up the pot.
today I see this from the Pueblo Chieftain.
Who’s in charge?
EDITORIAL
THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAINTHE UNIVERSITY of Colorado Board of Regents is nearing a test of its ability to set policy for the university.
While I agree with the point that Ward should get pushed out the door never to return because he doesn’t mater in my opinion. I think he has no Integrity and that hurts his cause as much as what he said hurts the School. What I don’t see in any of these readings are the simple fact that free speech doesn’t mean that the extra scrutiny is unfounded.
If your going to rock the boat, be prepared to get put under a microscope. This is why so many people don’t want to be in politics.
Ward took the easy way by cheating and copying others in his past and because he rocked the boat with his stupid writings against America he got put under a microscope…to bad. he should have done his own work and then there would be nothing to justify his firing. I wonder how many other professors (the ones supporting him) have lied and cheated in their publishing past?
