Default Colorado must hire neo-nazi professor...

In light of the explanation below, the Univesity of Colorado must hire neo -Nazi and K.K.K. professors. If they do not hire such people in the spirit of cultural diversity and freedom of expression, than they are surely hypocrites. Also, somebody should teach at Colorado espousing the virtues of slavery, as held by the Muslim government of Sudan.

Univ. of Colo. Faculty Backs 9/11 Slur Prof

Wednesday, February 02, 2005

DENVER — As pressure mounts on a University of Colorado professor who ignited a furor by comparing the World Trade Center victims to Nazis, colleagues have come to his defense — on free speech grounds.

The Boulder Faculty Assembly (search), a group representing professors at the campus, called Ward Churchill's (search) comments "controversial, offensive, and odious," but also expressed support for his right to express them.

"The lifeblood of any strong university is its diversity of ideas which allows for the environment necessary to educate and train young learners and advance the boundaries of knowledge," said a statement released Tuesday by university spokesman Peter Caughey. "Debate is a fundamental characteristic of a university."

The university's Board of Regents planned to meet in an emergency session Thursday to discuss Churchill, who resigned as chairman of the university's department of ethnic studies this week. He remains a professor.

Churchill failed to show up at a news conference scheduled Tuesday. Instead, four professors from the university's ethnic studies department expressed "unconditional support" for Churchill's "freedom of expression and First Amendment rights."
