...you have to move into a direction of saying, ‘I want my country to live up to the best ideals of its history and its values.’

And that's why I bombed government and military facilities around the country, with no regard for innocent life. Any decent church would have burned this lunatic at the stake twenty years ago.

how does anyone explain partial or complete psychosis? were they the bullies or the manipulators? I’d guess manipulators. and they're still manipulating - only instead of dealing with the real work world where most their own age would see right thru them and tell them so in no uncertain terms, they manipulate easily impressed minds with well-rehearsed syllabus scripts in insulated environments where there is little chance of real world confrontation and fear of grades quells what little dissent may pop up in the classroom. imo jmo moo

They have a lot in common. Both are experts on putting somebody else’s name on top of another person’s work.

A short list of other professors that should be fired

Bill Ayres
Angela Davis
Dr. Maulana Karenga

I am sure 15 minutes at any American college would find others teaching unrest and communism in America’s colleges who should be seeking other work.

“The university is a particular space in a society like ours where we have to not only entertain, but expect the widest diversity of ideas that go way outside what’s conventional,” Ayers said.

Oh my GAWD! What a pin-head!!

I worked in the hell called academia (as a computer geek) for a long time and, believe me, there is no "diversity of ideas". You tow the P.C. line your your a** is out on the street.

Ayers is a jerk and a liar...

A sharper distinction should be made between the concepts of “teaching” and “preaching.” Sometimes they may merge in religion, but they should be separate in the secular college world.

Why hasn’t he had a Magnum Force moment?

Ward is not smart, just a loud bully.

Churchill was found guilty of deliberate false assertions, misrepresentation of sources, and plagiarism.

Currently a professor at the University of Illinois in Chicago, Ayers’ 22 years of teaching did little to prepare him for the media firestorm that enveloped him during last year’s presidential election.

Interesting choice of words when describing a convicted bomber.
