I'd be happy to have my kids attend Churchill's classes and engage in
those debates. In fact, we have been having a few dinner table
discussions
based on his comments. Sounds like a successful educator to me.

Well, now, that's a good point. A lively debate is always good for the
kids, and good for the mind. College-level education depends upon it.

Of course, using that parameter as an educational yard stick, ANY
controversial figure might be considered a good educator, from the worst
racist Nazi sympathizer, to a wild-eyed PETA supporter who burns research
facilities. The debates on these topics could be VERY educational,
indeed,
but would we really want an avowed Nazi on the payroll? How about an
arsonist?

Oddly, most of those prof's ("Churchill" types) don't court debate.

Voice of experience here, BTW


I think there has to be a line drawn somewhere. I draw it where a
college
professor equates victims of the WTC attack to Adolf Eichmann, and claims
that they themselves are partially to blame for their own demise. The
guy
is a dolt.

I've asked my kids (22 and 20...both draining their college funds, one at
CU) and they note that for every kids that thinks Churchill ought to be in a
rubber room, probably two or three or more eat his demented drivel up.


Bottom line: It's easy to debate controversial topics without taxpayer
support of the nut cases.
