Re: Should Ward Churchill be Fired?

Academic tenure exists for precisely this reason, to ensure academics the freedom to take any position, no matter how unpopular. Not many people agree with what Churchill has said but to fire him over these words sets a dangerous precedent that would register a chilling effect on academic discourse in general.
