RE: Ward Churchill: What, If Anything, Should Be Done?

This isn't much different than the movement to ban the teaching of evolution in school. The free exchange of ideas should be encouraged.

RE: Ward Churchill: What, If Anything, Should Be Done?

If he deserves to get fired or censured, then why not Rush Limbaugh, or Howard Stern, or George Bush, or Bill O'Reilly or any number of the nuts with crazy opinions?

I think this entire issue is being blown out of proportion. People shouldn't be discouraged from speaking their minds.
