Meanwhile, a Colorado jury determines that Ward Churchill was wrongly fired.

It really is a bizarro world lately.
Churchill is a fool and his academic rigor is seriously questionable, but whether he should have been fired for what seems to be, on its face, a case of publicly-stated personal beliefs is a question up for debate. The problem is that instead of looking at his mechanisms for research, and whether they failed to meet recognized standards or even amounted to plagiarism, the board which broomed him got caught up in his silly and inane “little Eichmanns” remarks.
Really, this fellow isn’t even an authentic Amerind, apparently not even a 16th part. He’s just a poseur and an inadequate provocateur, for that matter. And he’s getting far more publicity than he’s entitled to.
