Free speech my foot.

As most of you know, there is a professor at the University of Colorado named Ward Churchill that has written an essay in which he compares the victims of 9-11 to nazis, the paper is basically a hippie pot-induced haze gone awry. I have read the essay in it's entirety (boredom, not in school) as it was suggested before I comment on it, and now that I have read it, I know the context and how it was written, and what has been said was not taken out of context.

I watched a program on C-Span with a speech by him with a Q and A segment at the end, which basically meant that his adoring students could worship him in all his glory. It was a sham, not really a Q and A since he only let those that opposed him speak for 3 seconds. When asked for clarification about an answer, he refused. One more thing, he teaches Ethnic Studies while claiming to be a Cherokee Indian, although the Cherokee Nation has denied that he is a Cherokee. The only guideline to join the Cherokee Nation is that you have to have 1 blood relative that was an indian, it doesn't matter how far you go back, if you can find ONE than you can join. Apparently he is unable to find even one relative that is an indian since he is not a part of the Cherokee Nation. So basically, I have some indian blood, it may be cherokee I really don't know, so I could become a member before Churchill could. And considering that that is the entire reason he was hired, perhaps they might want to rethink that.

My opinion on this whole thing is that I think that although what he's written is despicable, he has the right to say it and should be allowed to say it, and that is what makes America great, if he can't spew lies, then is there any freedom that is worth anything? It's that belief in freedom that founded America, it started us, and it keeps us going to this day. Farewell.
