DU the hell out of CU's website. I have emailed them. If you disagree
Edited on Fri Feb-04-05 09:03 PM by bush_is_wacko
The way they are handling the Churchill situation, let em' know about it. I'll find the email addy and post it here. This is what I am sending them:

To Whom It May Concern,

CU is in BIG trouble. It is not acceptable to condone and protect members of your sports program, in particular the CU football team, from being prosecuted and punished for their SHAMEFUL and truly CRIMINAL behavior and then turn around and hold hearings over a tenured professors continued employment because he wrote a TRUTHFUL and accurate essay on the 911 attacks!

As a parent with an honors high school student who at one time wished to attend CU, I can assure you, your terrible judgment on all of these issues will keep me from funneling a single dime in your direction.

I am a member of MANY activist groups that have the power to make sure CU Boulder student registration comes to a nearly complete halt. These grassroots efforts have been quite successful throughout our nation as of late and I'm sure they will be quite successful with your institution. CU Boulder is guilty of pandering to a group of RADICAL right-wing religious nuts and this country will not support any institutions that attempts to ban free speech by firing tenured professors who are loved and respected by the MAJORITY of people who are literate enough to understand the ramifications of your institutions actions.

Here's the email adress.

7. Here's the link
The name of the essay is "Some People Push Back"

It is long, but you have to read the entire essay. He never says he thinks the terrorists were right for doing what they did, only that our policies surely led to the attacks. This is a witch hunt of major proportions.
