Last night I theorized Obama and Ayers may well have met in the early 80’s when Obama was at Columbia and Ayers was a quarter of a mile down the Street at Bank Street College.
ACHTUNG! ACHTUNG!
Since posting my theory last night Wikepedia has been SCRUBBED of Ayers’ educational information!
Fortunately, I saved it before it was scrubbed.
This what it DID say:
“Ayers is currently a Distinguished Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Education. His interests include teaching for social justice, urban educational reform, narrative and interpretive research, children in trouble with the law, and related issues.[32]
He began his career in primary education while an undergraduate, teaching at the Children’s Community School (CCS), a project founded by a group of students and based on the Summerhill method of education.[33] After leaving the underground, he earned an M.Ed from Bank Street College in Early Childhood Education (1984), an M.Ed from Teachers College, Columbia University in Early Childhood Education (1987) and an Ed.D from Columbia University in Curriculum and Instruction (1987).[32]
He has edited and written many books and articles on education theory, policy and practice, and has appeared on many panels and symposia.”
Wikepedia was changed by user “Hurmata” and now reads…
“Ayers is currently a Distinguished Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Education. His interests include teaching for social justice, urban educational reform, narrative and interpretive research, children in trouble with the law, and related issues.[6] He began his career in primary education while an undergraduate, teaching at the Children’s Community School described above. He has edited and written many books and articles on education theory, policy and practice, and has appeared on many panels and symposia.”
So who is “sanitizing” Ayers’ information and why?
Ping to Wil H’s post #69.
Someone is scrubbing Ayers’ history.
Hmmmm.....
