Somoe of you people have such a closed view of the world you probably never stepped foot on a campus. Many campus's around the nation will have religion classes /gasp omfg!

btw here is a list of their class work in similar studies.

http://www.colorado.edu/ArtsSciences/st...s/undergraduate/as_core.uscontext.html

Here is the description of said core classes

7. United States Context (3 semester hours). Courses fulfilling the United States Context requirement explore important aspects of American culture and society. They stimulate critical thinking and an awareness of the place of the United States in the world by promoting an understanding of the particular world views which the diversity, environment, culture, history, values, and expression of the United States have fostered. Courses familiarize students with the United States and enable them to evaluate it critically.

These courses teach an appreciation of American culture while inviting students to ask probing questions about American values and ideals. How have Americans derived a sense of identity from geography, language, politics, and the arts? How do Americans view and influence the world beyond their borders? How have the rights and responsibilities of citizenship changed over time? How have Americans dealt with opposing values in their culture? Completing this requirement, students will develop both a better understanding of the American present and past, and a considerable interest in the American future.

This 3-hour requirement may be fulfilled by passing any course listed below. Students who take approved CU-Boulder course work to fulfill this requirement must take the course for a letter grade and receive a passing grade of D- or higher

I know the radical left wants to erase any bit of religion out of our society. But that doesnt mean they can erase the past. And it looks like the history class he was teaching centered around the culture during that time period which included /gasp religion.

If we implemented some of your ignorant ideas in the classrooms across our university system. People would be nothing but robots with a horribly acute view of the world.

Some of you should take a religion class at the University level. It might open up your minds a bit.

Here is a listing for all his classes this spring.

Guy sure looks like a bible thumper to me.

Edit: But I should add that I dont have much sympathy for him. He had his opportunity to join the good old boys club called tenure. Of course I still think CU is run by the rabid left and that is why this happened. But he could have protected himself but didnt. Ward Churchill for hating on capitalism knew enough to protect himself and will get a handsome reward for being an assclown.

Ward Churchill? No. Phil Mitchell.

His crimes? Being a conservative, acknowleding that he's an evangelical Christian, and using the book in "In His Steps" in his class.

Good, fire them all that do this. Want to teach Church do it in Church, period.

Dave! are you really that intellectually bankrupt? He wasn't teaching religion. He was teaching history. The book was used to demonstrate turn of the century protestant values in a historical context. If you are teaching religion you certainly don't teach religious values that are over 100 years out of date. My favorite high school history teacher taught about religion as it relates to history. Now he is the head of the history Department at Brown university. He has actually been on the History channel several times and i can tell you he is bleeding blue liberal through and through. What Mitchell has done is no different than my liberal high school history teacher turned Brown U. history professor used to do. I think his perception of the situation speaks volumes. It most likely is the wacked out leftists rather than the everyday libs doing this. My guess is it is personal. Somewhere along the line he made an enemy and that person is getting even I think. That is usually how these things really work.
