He and Norman Finkelstein will end up being considered martyrs to the cause. To many on the far left, they'll be heroes trampled by a cruel system.

Maybe Noam Chomsky or others will fund a think tank to employ these guys. Probably, left-leaning departments in other universities will hire them for new tenure-track or non-tenure-track positions.

Whatever. I'm sure we haven't heard the last of them.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about any of these guys. Churchill still has salary coming, and Finkelstein sells plenty of books.

You're right Sol, these guys won't have to worry about making the payments on their Volvos. It's still good news they won't be in the classroom systematically poisoning young minds with their indoctrination. I hope that not getting tenure or getting sacked serves as a lesson for their acolytes and wannabes.

Who knows, maybe students won't have to read Edward Said's Orientalism for nearly every humanities course they take. Could it be the pendulum is starting to swing back from the extreme left toward the center or, dare we think it, even to the right?

I'll answer your question about how many pseudoscholars are left as soon as I can figure out the keyboard shortcut for the infinite symbol.

Shades of Ward Churchill

Ward Churchill had a friend, Ruben G. Mendoza, a teaching assistant at the University of Colorado, Denver. Ruben’s department Chair Dr. Moore, for abusing students, booted him from the university, against which Mendoza promptly filed suit. Ruben, an ersatz Chicano, resurfaced as an activist, and got fast-tracked to tenure through one Steven F. Arvizu, at CSU Monterey Bay. Mendoza became the nosebleed of the fledgling university. Churchill was invited to CSUMB by Ruben to speak at a weeklong gathering of the clan. Mendoza also engages in academic misconduct, so far without consequence. The Duke lacrosse team fiasco shows that educators have created a phony cultural paradigm that distorts reality. And, no one exploits phony paradigms, obfuscates truth, or games the system like the Clintons. Point being, miscreants like Churchill and Mendoza have powerful political backers: the fish rots from the head.

Set the Wayback Machine for 23 August 1995: a hot day in the nation’s capitol. But 3000 miles due west on California’s Central Coast, a constellation of events was unfolding that would have a profound effect on Western civilization; plunge it into decades of war. Yet, this cataclysmic upheaval was only part of the plan. Bill Clinton picked up the telephone. It was his Chief of Staff Leon Panetta, calling from a payphone in Monterey. Bill held the receiver at arms length and gazed at the tasteful floral arrangement that adorned the Oval Office. Leon’s disembodied voice filled the room. What now, asked Hillary. It’s that damn college, mouthed Bill. There was, no getting out. Hillary nodded, just tell Leon he’ll get whatever he needs: http://theseedsof9-11.com
