174. locksteppers?

What on earth are you talking about?

Who cares if ward churchill copied some art. Who cares if his word choice isnt perfect, those are non-issues. Or, more accurately, issues of importance to those who read his work and a certain artists estate respecively.

The real issue here is that the national media spread around misinformation about him to fuel a right win attempt at his job. Duh plagerism is bad, duh the eichman comparison, when spread around the country, was bound to cause confusion and hurt his case.

So what? He's a radical professor. He isnt running for the presidency. Frankly I dont care if his word choice is misleading at best, or even offensive. I also dont care if he plagerized a work. I do care that he is under national scrutiny and fighting for his job because he dissents, regardless of how badly he does it. I do care that many liberal professors in this country have said things that could be easily spun into being offensive if taken out of context and that the next professor may not be someone as easy to write off as Ward Churchill.
