A few more insightful comments

From signers of the petition to reinstate Ward Churchill.

Pigs

Reinstate Ward Churchill!!!! It was wrong to fire Professor Churchill for telling the truth. Those people in the Towers were pigs, and had it coming.

Superior insight

As a fellow unenrolled Cherokee, I know from first-hand experience that people like Ward and I have superior insight into the colonialist mindset than those of you without Indian blood. Where do you get off sitting in judgment of Indian peoples? Sitting bull is more like it. The force of truth is on our side.

"The force of truth." Now where have I heard that before?

UK academic terrified

As a young academic in the UK I find this saga of violations terrifying ... needless to say the international scholastic community will, I suspect, systematically withdraw from engagement with American academics should a culture of intimidation remain legitimised ...
Gee, pretty soon Brit academics will have only themselves to talk to.
