Speaking of scumbags, terrorist Bill Ayers made the news again today, this time defending plagiarist and phony Ward Churchill, who was fired from his position as an ethnic studies professor at the University of Colorado following an investigation into his academic misconduct.
The two have a history: According to a 1987 Washington Post article, Churchill taught bomb making to the detestable organization Ayers helped run, the Weather Underground, back in the sixties.
My own experience with academia has shown me how intellectually lazy and mean spirited professors who get caught gravitate to self-sealing arguments and otherwise insulate themselves from having to defend indefensible positions. Get caught plagiarizing? Blame politics. Cite free speech. But don't, you know, stop plagiarizing or anything.
