Academic Fraud and pretend Indian Ward Churchill got the ultimate smackdown from Judge Larry Naves. No money, no reinstatement, nada. He even took back the $1 settlement the last jury gave him. You get a big award of doodly-squat, tonto!
Thus ends the Churchill-CU Circus. Naves is a well-respected judge appointed by Democrat Roy Romer, so this will not be overturned. Even the Daily Camera, newspaper of the People's Republic of Boulder, says it's past time to kick this charlatan to the curb.
Native American-Hippie Chic
Here in the West, we still have Native Americans, and since the 60's there's been a certain cachet attached to all things Indian. It started with the hippies and the liberal desire to identify with oppressed minorities without actually having to walk a mile in their moccasins.
Mark Lindsay explains it best in his 1970's song, Arizona:
She must belong to San FranciscoWard Churchill, white man from back east, took the hippie-Indian shtick to the extreme and rode it all the way to a full professorship at the University of Colorado, Boulder. I've had many Native American friends over the years, Mescalero Apaches, Blackfoot, Pueblo, and it always amuses me how the pretend ones try to be more Catholic than the pope. Or should I say more native than the natives?
She must've lost her way
Posting a poster of Poncho and Cisco one California day
She says she believes in Robin Hood and brotherhood
And colours of green and grey
And all you can do is laugh at her
Doesn't anybody know how to pray?
Reminds me of that Muslim convert in Florida who claimed discrimination when they wouldn't let her take her drivers license photo with a face mask on. She'd been walking around showing her face for over 30 years before she converted, so it's not like she was hiding some kind of forbidden fruit...
And you can believe in Robin Hood and brotherhoodIs there a little Eichmann in all of us? Ontological Angst explores the other side of peace and love and brotherhood.
And rolling the ball in the hay
And I will be reading you an Aesop´s fable
Anything to make you stay

Nice post, Silverfiddle. I used to email Churchill when I worked at a university that shall not be named; naturally, he would never email me back.
I don't think he was much into rational discourse.
The CU Regents should be ashamed of themselves for ever giving him a professorship
