Pretendian Ward Churchill Still Trying to Teach at Colorado

What a "pretendian"? That's my word for a guy who pretends to be an Indian, such as former professor Ward Churchill who has claimed Native American ancestory and can't prove it. He was recently fired for professional misconduct but is still trying to teach:

Former University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill no longer is a member of the faculty but he is holding classes on campus after his dismissal following a controversial Sept. 11 essay comparing victims to a Nazi leader.

The classes, covering topics including colonialism, genocide and racism, are organized by the students who then invite Churchill to speak.

"We feel Ward has a right to say what he wants to say," Aaron Smith, a political science and ethnic studies senior, told FOXNews.com.

Smith, one of the discussions' organizers, said about 75 students usually show up but it is hard to get them to commit to assignments since they can't receive grades for them.

Any kid who attends his lectures is a fool, but any kid who also does the homework probably needs help tying his own shoes.
