UPDATED Ayers is canceled. Thank God for small miracles. Let’s let Ayers work with Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.
Continuing coverage of the developing controversy over the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s decision to reward Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers with a prestigious speaking gig during the school’s 100th anniversary…
Yes, check your kid’s college transcripts. Find those registration receipts. Have you paid for this class?
Would you want your college student child sitting in Ayers class, as he proselytizes over his radical educational agenda of Socialism? Better yet, would you like to pay for that class?
UNL prof Gerard Harbison is disgusted:
I’d just like to be the first to express my utter disgust at the actions of my employer, UNL, in inviting this sorry excuse of a human being. Bill Ayers is a man who preached the murder of policemen; but he did not simply preach; he made a practice of planting bombs and murdering his fellow Americans. He then gloated when he got off on a technicality, and on 9/11/2001, in the New York Times, was quoted as saying he wished he’d done more. He has never repented for or repudiated his actions; indeed, his current career seems to be an attempt to continue ‘the struggle’ by other means.
This single act dishonors 100 years of Nebraska teacher education, and soils all of us who work at the university.
