[R-G] Reposting of Churchill Post Reformatted

[I found this on another list, and it was a messy affair but here it is
reformatted and readable. Cbc]

In a time when our basic civil and human rights are endangered it is
critical to resist those who would have us believe that the current
state of affairs is inevitable. We cannot allow ourselves to be
silenced.

We do not believe the University of Colorado fired Ward Churchill
because of so-called "research misconduct." The attack on Ward Churchill
is part of a larger effort to silence criticism of government policies
and to discredit alternative, particularly Indigenous, histories and
perspectives; an attack spearheaded by neoconservative groups like Lynne
Cheney's American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA). For more on CU
President Hank Brown's ties to ACTA, see
wardchurchill.net/files/cu_acta_ad.pdf.

There are many fronts in the struggle to preserve access to truth and
the freedom to think and speak critically. In addition to whatever
avenues you are already pursuing to redress injustice, we urge you to
support Ward Churchill's lawsuit against the University of Colorado.
