Absolute Free Speech for Ward Churchill; Meanwhile, a CU Professor Is Dumped For Being "Too Christian"

This is precisely the dispute I had with Jeff Goldstein of Protein Wisdom. It's all well and good to speak of the importance of tenure to protect professor's right to engage in open and fearless questioning, but f--- tenure if only one side's rights are protected.

Kevin McCulloch reports:

[Dr. Phil Mitchell of CU] was decorated in 1998 as "Teacher of the Year". Yet according to Mitchell his teaching "is not up to standard", and he has been too outspoken about his "Christian views" in this state-run University.

And now he's being fired.

And click on that link NOW; McCulloch began an interview with him at 3:20. Hopefully he's still on.

My God-- this man actually quoted Thomas Sowell in a seminar about affirmative action. Obviously, this constitutes a firing offense, whereas Churchills' direct and unambiguous instructions for effective terrorism is just brave academic speech which we must tolerate at all costs, lest we go the way of the Third Reich.
