One More BIG Argument Against Tenure

That would be Ward Churchill, of course. Most recently, he has advocated the fragging of military officers at an anti-war forum in Portland, Oregon. (HT to Pirate Ballerina for breaking the story and staying on Churchill's miserable backside).

Churchill argued:
"Conscientious objection removes a given piece of the cannon fodder from the fray. Fragging an officer has a much more impactful effect."

"Fragging", of course, is the killing or wounding of an officer by a subordinate in combat.

Now, this isn't the first we've heard about Ward Churchill. As set forth here, not only has he called the victims of 9/11 "little Eichmanns," he's been credibly accused of plagiarism (both intellectual and artistic) and lying about his supposed Indian heritage.

One would think that he would have been fired immediately from his cushy little sinecure at the University of Colorado. But no . . . he's protected by tenure -- a concept that's an abomination, particularly in his case, as I've pointed out here.

Oh, and by the way, Professor Churchill, there's no such word as "impactful."
