[lbo-talk] Ward Churchill is Neocon Test Case for Academic Purges

Churchill's job is college professor.  College professors are not political
propagandists.  He seems to think there's no distinction needed there.  If
he wants freedom from academic standards, he should work for the political
party of his choice.  Of course, that won't pay him $94,000 a year plus
perqs and bennies.
