Mike S. Adams :: Townhall.com Columnist How I Bombed an Abortion Clinic and Still Got Tenure
Ann Potts, an Assistant Professor in the Watson School of Education, has disgraced The University of North Carolina at Wilmington by signing a petition in support of unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers – himself an education professor at The University of Illinois at Chicago.

Ann Potts’ name is not on a petition of my academic supporters for one simple reason: I don’t have any.
