My take: despite the extreme idiocy of the man’s comments, he should not lose his job over them. However, he should face scrutiny for possible academic fraud, as pointed out by Thomas Brown of Lamar University:
Churchill argues that the US Army created a smallpox epidemic among the Mandan people in 1837 by distributing infected blankets. While there was a smallpox epidemic on the Plains in 1837, historians agree that it was accidental, and the Army wasn???t involved.
Also in need of review: the process that gives tenure to a person without reviewing his research first.
