Colorado professor Ward Churchill has publicly sympathized with the 9/11 terrorists. He actually declared that the executives working at the World Trade Center deserved it! (Note to Tobin Jones : is that what you call supplementing?)
In reactions to Ward Churchill's statements, there have been calls for firing him. What adds to this whole brouhaha is that Churchill is working at a taxpayer-funded university, yet he has the nerve to say he doesn't work for the taxpayers? What bullshit!
In other Ward Churchill news, he pretends to be Native American. That's bullshit

As Churchill has lurched through Indian identities, he has not found a single Native relative or ancestor. He is descended from a long line of Churchills that Hank Adams has traced back to the Revolutionary War and Europe. Adams, who is Assiniboine-Sioux and a member of the Frank's Landing Indian Community, has successfully researched and exposed other pseudo-Indians. Adams traced Churchill's ancestors on both sides of his family, finding all white people, including documented slave owners and at least one spy, but zero Indians.
It's important for Native mothers and fathers to speak out because pseudo-Indians do things that affect our children. Churchill will not be discriminated against on the basis of being Indian, but he is placing our children and grandchildren in harm's way by creating ill will and hostility against Indians. Native kids and elders who actually look Native are the ones who suffer from the blowback.
