Our understanding is that Bill Ayers does not, although this point is being actively debated by several who have contacted us. In addition, administrators from other school districts who have heard his presentation to students, have indicated that Ayers focuses on students being involved in social justice.

Given the interest this has stirred in the community, and the strong emotion and anger that is being expressed, we are currently reviewing this decision and are also exploring options for changing the venue. For those who have expressed concern over funding this, it should be noted that Dr. Ayers was never being paid for this visit.

First- I don't know how anyone can say this man doesn't advocate violence. He's a fucking terrorist!

Second- these people are clueless if they think that funding is just paying a speaker. What about the tax dollars being wasted by giving this man a platform and yanking kids out of their proper classes to listen to him?

Shame on these people. SHAME!

re: #26 DEZes

That was my thoughts, yes.

It is a public school. I don't see why the public cannot offer it's opinion. Politely.

Unfortunately, Ayers is more dangerous as a radical Professor of Education then he ever was as a domestic terrorist. He's poisoned many more young minds doing his "professor" jive talk, as the election of Obama demonstrates.

I love the part too about him focusing "on students being involved in social justice". How, by blowing stuff and people up? By reveling in Manson murdering people? By standing on the flag? ARRRGGHHH!

I wonder if he will have to go through a metal detector like the kids at many high schools? Or will he get a free pass on it like the media has given him a free pass?

There's something weirdly ironic about authorities inviting a speaker who has made a point of targeting authorities.

This is Naperville, not some seething inner-city bastion of injustice where the oppressed shall rise up and break their chains. These kids' chains are made of gold and have diamonds hanging off of them. These are the very people that revolutionaries kill in other countries.

But, oh, yes, Bill Ayers is one of them. He always has been. Wealthy, wacko, liberal, hating the very system that makes his life easy and feeds him.

(Full disclosure: My parents lived there 1971-1973. My brother was born in Naperville.)

As I remember , he is an "English" Professor. Perhaps he will be discussing english declension and plurality, or some equally worthy topic.

In addition, administrators from other school districts who have heard his presentation to students, have indicated that Ayers focuses on students being involved in social justice.

"Social justice" is the practice of using the threat of violence to achieve a goal.
The government will forcibly take from those who have something and give it to those who don't, so that some third party's abstract idea of 'justice' is served.

"Social justice" requires violence.

Ayers spoke at our local high school about 2 months ago. Parents were not invited to attend. Draw your own conclusions.

While formal press releases of the speaking engagement were not sent, the event was publicized in the school for students to attend. However, some family members of students attended, though it was not publicized as open to the public.

This is a much better venue for Ayers' indoctrination; more malleable minds to pervert with his ideology. University/College students have already, for the most part, become fully infected.

2 Simple points,

Mr. Ayers does not advocate violence? Mr. Ayers has gone several steps beyond advocating, and has perpetrated extreme violence. He proudly admits it.

Mr. Ayers focuses on involvement in social justice? Mr. Ayers brand of social justice, as indicated by his actions referred to above, have no place in American society at all, never mind in our children's classrooms as an invited and warmly received guest, and not as the cold blooded, murderous terrorist he is in reality.

re: #47 quickjustice

Here's the link to Sol Stern's article about how much damage Ayers has done to American education as a radical Professor of Education:

[Link: www.city-journal.org...]

Indeed, the education department at the University of Illinois is a hotbed for the radical education professoriate. As Ayers puts it in one of his course descriptions, prospective K–12 teachers need to “be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and . . . be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, a teacher teaching for social justice and liberation.” Ayers’s texts on the imperative of social-justice teaching are among the most popular works in the syllabi of the nation’s ed schools and teacher-training institutes. One of Ayers’s major themes is that the American public school system is nothing but a reflection of capitalist hegemony. Thus, the mission of all progressive teachers is to take back the classrooms and turn them into laboratories of revolutionary change.

Motherfucker forgot to mention anything about teaching English or Math or History. Just a small oversight.

re: #81 Sharmuta

If the teachers are such soft-hearted leftists, why are they teaching at a school in a wealthy neighborhood? Why not teach the downtrodden?

How is Ayers different from the thug who killed the Oakland cops this past week?

I just went through some of the links to the story. I can't believe these people aren't in an institution for the criminally insane much less in positions to influence educational policy. This country has lost it's mind.

"Bernadine Dohrn at a 1969 "War Council" in Flint, Michigan, Dohrn gave her most memorable and notorious speech to her followers. Holding her fingers in what became the Weatherman "fork salute," she said of the bloody murders recently committed by the Manson Family in which the pregnant actress Sharon Tate and a Folgers Coffee heiress and several other inhabitants of a Benedict Canyon mansion were brutally stabbed to death: "Dig it! First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victim's stomach! Wild! "

Man... Really... It belongs in a straight jacket not a teaching position.

I sat thru his speech at St. Mary's - SF Bay Area - late Jan protest. He is articulate and smooth delivering a thinly veiled justification and whitewash of his former activities. To those unaware of the reality of his former actions - it is easy to see the young minds get sucked in.

He is very good at what he does.

re: #88 LGoPs

Yes, and that explains why I constantly read nonsense about teaching social justice to second graders. Second graders, socially speaking, are still having trouble with not turning into a baying pack, running down their prey, never mind worrying about social justice.

K-12 teachers need to be able to get kids to learn the subjects they are paid to teach. Period.

Educating children so that they can be successful IS a moral endeavor.

Big buildings and wide streets, cement and steel were no longer permanent. They, too, were fragile and destructible. A torch, a bomb, a strong enough wind, and they, too, would come undone or get knocked down."

Rich kids gone radical are a menace.

IIRC, Billy A.'s father was a New Dealer. Can't recall how high up in FDR's mchine he was.

Nothing would say "fuck this" like no kids in the school the day he's scheduled to speak.

He has that same attitude towards everything, imho. That's his core - his heart. Everything is a target to be gamed. Buildings, our school system, people, women, the public, stupid school boards, politicians, etc.

"BTW Ron Dellums was disinvited to speak at the funeral yesterday." That's Ron Dellums, the Mayor of Oakland and he was disinvited to speak by the family of one of the officers killed by Mixon.

re: #143 Dianna

Mayor Dellums was requested not to speak at the funeral of the fallen officers.
I am active in police circles (many pals in blue) and the rumor is that the police union asked him to STFU. This is not being widely reported, but that is the word on the street. I talked to 2 pals who attended the funeral yesterday, and none of this was on the phone or email, this was in person.

I just don't understand how anyone can look at what happened in Russia, in China, in Cambodia, in Vietnam, in Eastern Europe, (they can at least blame Cuba on the sanctions), and still believe that a collectivist economy/government is anything but a disaster.

It's like a chemistry experiment. It's killed three students. Let's try it again. Must have been something wrong with the students.

Why in the world does this school need anyone to come speak about "social justice"? Aren't the president's press conferences enough?

Gotta get em while they're young!

Seriously, If I had a child in such a school I'd yank him/her immediately!

re: #150 Sharmuta

Nothing would say "fuck this" like no kids in the school the day he's scheduled to speak.

Yes.

Better to have whomever allowed this fired.

re: #28 Sharmuta

From the Superintendent:
First- I don't know how anyone can say this man doesn't advocate violence. He's a fucking terrorist!
Second- these people are clueless if they think that funding is just paying a speaker. What about the tax dollars being wasted by giving this man a platform and yanking kids out of their proper classes to listen to him?
Shame on these people. SHAME!

Ah, but the superintendent said a wide variety of speakers: terrorists, communists, and enviro-nazis--anyone, in fact, to the left of the mainstream.

The reason that the communists won in the former USA is their commitment to personal destruction of their political opponents. While conservatives tend to be individualists, communists have a political religion that requires coordinated activism.

For example, if we were like them, we would first identify him as our personal, hated enemy: we would dig up everything about him and feed it to special interest groups on our side--we would harass his friends and do everything in our power to have him fired. News articles would appear daily about an affair he might have had with a teacher 20 years ago, his "reckless" spending on office furniture for himself (a leather chair), or his authoritarian treatment of an incident with a student, and so on. We would label him as the "controversial" superintendent and try to embarrass the school board for appointing him.

After he is fired, we would follow up to make sure that he cannot get another job in education. Then, we would focus on our next enemy.

Organizing conservatives is like herding cats, plus they are typically too busy enjoying their own lives than to care about screwing up everyone else's lives. So, the political piranhas win. And they feel so self-righteous!

Obama order worries speech groups

Free speech advocates from across the political spectrum are accusing President Barack Obama of impinging on First Amendment rights and are gearing up to take their case public.

At issue is an unprecedented directive that Obama — who has long railed against lobbyists as the personification of a corrupt Washington culture — issued last week barring officials charged with doling out stimulus funds from talking to registered lobbyists about specific projects or applicants for stimulus cash.

When you click the provided link to the whitehouse.gov "unprecedented directive", it's now been removed , with this in its place:

Wait - you meant he was disinvited to speak at that creature, Mixon's, funeral?

I thought you meant the memorial held yesterday for the officers.

One (or more - we don't know) of the officers families asked that he not speak at the memorial. I'll give him this, he was smart enough not to let his ego run on this one - and wisely shut up.

Is this related to his plan to scour MP3 players and laptops?

BTW, for all y'all who haven't yet e-mailed the board on this matter, Charles link has an item by our own LGFer Last Mohican, who gave out the e-mail addresses to all of the board members to whom I sent the following letter (just in case some of you need some ideas as to what to say)

Dear Board Members: I am writing to you concerning your invitation to Mr. William ("Bill") Ayers to speak at your school.
I'm certain that others have written to you concerning this matter and wish to take as little of your time as is necessary. Mr. Ayers has indeed written and discussed a number of articles and works concerning scholastic and academic matters. But the fact remains that he and his wife, Ms. Bernadine Dhorn were founding members of the SDS/Student Weather Underground. During that time period they set off several bombs and led others to do the same. They originally stated that they did this to protest the war in Vietnam, but a bomb set off after the war was over, killed one policeman and blinded another. Mr. Ayer's then girlfriend, now wife, was tried for that murder and intent to commit murder but was acquited apparently because the only evidence against her (which, according to police accurately stated where the bomb was placed, how it was made (with gasoline and NAILS AND OTHER PIECE OF METAL - SHRAPNEL). Moreover, they adopted the child of one of their fellow criminals, Ms. Kathy Boudin who was convicted of the felony murder of one NY police officer and one Brinks Armored Car guard, which such killing was done in 1981, more than six years after the war in Vietnam ended.
Given the opportunity to repent Mr. Ayers has said, on more than one occasion, that he wished that they had done more bombing. Nor were their bombs merely an attempt to destroy property, as they all contained pieces of metal, intended to be used against people - commonly called shrapnel.
I think merely having Mr. Ayers at your High School, will simply send the wrong message to your students.
Thank you for you time and consideration,
Very Truly Yours,

I did sign my real name, not realwest.

re: #152 Racer X

Good to hear. I know a killer at large (black guy who killed a white guy) here in Baltimore a while back was cornered hiding in the city, in a largely black area. He expected the public to stick up for him, but he was wrong. Not only was he turned in - everyone turned out on the street as he was taken away to seriously tell him, loudly, what a pathetic excuse for a human he was.

re: #151 Cattt

He has that same attitude towards everything, imho. That's his core - his heart. Everything is a target to be gamed. Buildings, our school system, people, women, the public, stupid school boards, politicians, etc.

He is full of hate at life and the world. Deep-rooted hate. Especially at America, the country that gave him privilege, and yet he responds by being utterly vile and contemptuous:

"What a country," he said (in a 2001 interview). "It makes me want to puke."

"What a country," he said (in a 2001 interview). "It makes me I make me want to puke."

Way it should be.

Just e-mailed the school board and sent a link to the "Prairie Fire" article and the picture of the a**hole standing on the flag.

The school explains:

In addition, administrators from other school districts who have heard his presentation to students, have indicated that Ayers focuses on students being involved in social justice.

And what exactly does he mean by social justice?

Wikipedia offers a dispassionate article.

The term "social justice" is often employed by the political left to describe a society with a greater degree of economic egalitarianism, which may be achieved through progressive taxation, income redistribution, or even property redistribution, policies aimed toward achieving that which developmental economists refer to as equality of opportunity and equality of outcome.

But what did Ayers have in mind? Ah, let's go to the hadith and the sirrah. What is the record of his life, which will help to clarify what those words mean for him?

Boom! Kaboom!

Thank you for the clarification, Mr. Ayers. Deeds speak louder than words. Social justice means killing your political enemies. It means bombs in the dark of the night when you're out of power, speaking engagements at high schools when you're advancing your cause by that means, and knocks on the door in the dark of night once you win.

re: #155 EmmmieG

Thanks for that RW. I, um, "borrowed' it, made a few changes, and sent it to them.

Oh, and it's worth noting that if Ayers had been concerned to push equality of outcome, he might have exerted himself at the Annenberg project to improve test scores for students in the schools he had influence over. At that post, he had some leverage. He could have evened up the outcomes somewhat by improving the educational outcomes in the schools his project was supposedly trying to help. Those schools aren't destined to failure. Better teaching, if it would ever happen, could make a difference. Better methods, if they would be adopted, could improve results even if the teachers were no more perceptive and talented.

By the record of his life work, Ayers doesn't give a damn about increasing equality of outcome by lifting up the bottom.

Indeed. Academia is such an artificial, protected environment.

However, I have heard several stories (I don't know whether they are true), about a professor who agrees under pressure by his socialism-indoctrinated students that each will get a grade based on the class average. The higher-scoring students get "taxed" on their points to pay for their more unfortunate classmates. The result, the story goes, is that by the end of the semester, the entire class flunks.

Anyone know whether there's any truth to this story? If not, it would be an interesting experiment.

And somehow the NEA donated millions to Obama's campaign, more so than any defense contractors, I read somewhere recently.

Mass murderers are all the rage for the Left, and the Media (who think pretty highly of mass murderers themselves) are more than happy to let them walk on it.

The Republicans need to really start fighting again. Not that they were ever anywhere near the league of partisanship displayed by the Democrats. I'm damn tired of "bipartisanship" meaning that the Democrats dictate what they want, and the Republicans roll over and give it to them without demanding anything in Return. The Best they get from the Democrats boils down to "we'll not rape you as hard as we would have if you resisted" bullshit from the Democrats.

It is way past time to quit acting like the token opposition, and start showing real leadership. That is the real path back to a majority, and to being a successful majority once we get there.

Speaking of communists- how'd this for irony?

Some visit Pol Pot's grave looking for luck

He was one of the greatest mass killers of the 20th century, but that doesn't stop the hopeful from praying at Pol Pot's hillside grave for lucky lottery numbers, job promotions and beautiful brides.

Nor does it stop tourists from picking clean the bones and ashes from the Khmer Rouge leader's burial ground in this remote town in northwestern Cambodia.

The grave is among a slew of Khmer Rouge landmarks in Anlong Veng, where the movement's guerrillas made their last stand in 1998 just as Pol Pot lay dying. A $1 million tourism master plan is being finalized to preserve and protect 15 of the sites, and charge admission.

Included on the tour will be the houses and hideouts of the Khmer Rouge leaders, an execution site and places associated with Ta Mok, a brutal commander and Anlong Veng's last boss.

Commies using capitalism to make money... And glorifying a mass murderer- lovely.

How TOTALLY obtuse can one person be? The history of Ayers is bathed in blood and death, of ferocious anti-Americanism and a total sellout to communism and everything anti-US on this planet.

Are these REALLY the viewpoints that we want our children exposed to in High School? If I were a parent with children in Naperville High, I would be yanking them out immediately, no if ands or buts AND then I'd be looking for the supers resignation, immediately!

Enough is enough.

p.s. In a perfect world, Ayers would already be in jail or even better, deported to some 3rd world communist hell-hole, along WITH Dohrn..

our 'culture' is under attack

we are tying to sink to the level of the lowest common denominator

yesteday, a regular poster here, BOASTED he finished a bottle of wine he picked off a table after those people had finished eating, and left the restaurant (before the table was cleared)...AS IF IT WERE A NORMAL THING TO DO

and some other poster seemed to support him

...when did this become aceptable behavior?

Dear Ploome,

don't let the boorish self-confessed behavior of two people at LGF get you down!

That idiotic "teacher" couldn't even spell tenets --it's not tennants! They're not trying to teach "critical thinking" but radical claptrap.

The tennants of Marxism? LOL well, that's one way to describe housing projects.

Your absence was noticed.

I'm flattered. As before, I've dropped in to add a few readily available facts to a discussion that seemed to be lacking them.

re: #248 Sharmuta

Your absence was noticed.

There were parties.

re: #178 rawmuse

I know a bunch of trust fund radicals like Ayers. These are people that have, no shit, never worked a day in their entire lives, inherited Daddie's money (Daddy was almost always a rich Republican) and now spend their time trashing the system from which they live a life of ease.

Words fail me to describe the disdain I have for these people.

precisely

re: #254 ploome hineni

I didn't say JMV was "missed". Just that the absence was noticed, and it was.

re: #255 ploome hineni

how delightfully condescending of you

hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaahaaa

Poor tennants of Marxism living in housing projects around me and in Washington, DC--they get subjected to so-called teachers whose methods are similar to Ayers, without the trust fund terrorist background.

I've volunteered in some of the poorest schools in Washington DC and it killed me to think those cherubic little children would be taught to hate & "rage at the man" instead of being taught to love learning and service to others in higher causes than revenge or greed.

re: #243 ploome hineni

Uh, ploome, what the guy did was really tacky, and nothing I would ever do. But your reaction was way over the top. You acted like he'd groped the hostess or something.

Queen of Hearts!

Flush The Red Queen!

Mr. step on the Flag Ayers has no business at a high school.

Let him address a graduating class of the Marines at the School of Infantry.
