“one cannot help but ponder how a dried up old hippie, whose claim to fame is almost 40 years old, can possibly be relevant as someone who shows action in today’s world”

This is wrong-headed thinking. Ayers committed terrorist acts 40 years ago, but he has done much more damage recently and continues to do so. His accomplishments in the field of turning the education system into an indoctrination machine are much more heinous than the bombs he set. He is certainly one of the left’s current leaders (as the article puts it).

The “multiple perspective” aspect mentioned in the article is part of the Marxist Dialectic. Wiki it if you aren’t familiar.

Apparently, the only leadership the college is interested in, is socialist, community-organizer-style leadership.

Your tax dollars at work.

Timothy McVeigh understood the opportunity and methods to instill terror. How is William Ayers any different than McVeigh? Merely because McVeigh was more savvy in his explosives capabilities? Would McVeigh, were he alive, not meet the College of DuPage’s criteria? Indeed, were his actions not more relevant than Ayers if only because they came closer to what COD seems to think is important “action in today’s world” by occurring more recently than 40 years ago?

Ayers should be compared to McVeigh at every opportunity. McVeigh had more explosives savvy but Ayers had a better getaway plan.

Save this article for when CoD asks for a tax hike or a bond issue.

Academe shills for murderers of law enforcement officers?

Officer Down Memorial Page

Bill Ayers' wealthy and influential daddy is no longer able to protect him -- who is protecting Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn today? Academe? MSM employees? Crook County, Illinois? The Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party)? State and federal bureaucrats? All of the above?

Will the new president join the rabble protecting Mr. and Mrs. Ayers?

If Obama fires the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California and his DoJ stops all investigations of this and other decades-old, terrorist murders of policemen the answer will be a definite YES!
