The writings of an academic are considered part of his body of work. I
personally think Churchill is an idiot, but whether his comments were made
"in the classroom, in the lecture hall, or even on the campus" is
irrelevant.


I was just pointing out that this isn't an issue of academic freedom. This
isn't even an issue of free speech, as nobody is trying to silence
Churchill. The issue is whether anybody is required to provide him with a
soapbox.
