An excellent idea. If you prefer to email rather than call, as I do, click here to see how to email all of the members of the Naperville Board of Education.

If you wish to email the principal of Naperville North High School, click here, and look for the name of the principal, Ross Truemper. Ayers is scheduled to speak at Naperville North High School, not Naperville Central High School, so don't click William Wiesbrook's name.

I'm a little behind the pace on this one, but in case anyone hasn't yet composed his or her email to the Naperville, IL school board, here are some links that you might wish to supply, in order to help the Naperville superintendent of schools to overcome his misconception that Bill Ayers isn't interested in violence.

zombie's discuss of "Prairie Fire," Weather Underground's manifesto, in which Ayers (one of the authors) takes responsibility for multiple bombings, and professes his plan to violently overthrow the U.S. government. This page has a lot of information about Ayers' association with Barack Obama, which might be counterproductive to bring up in this setting.

Wikipedia's list of Weatherman actions, which mentions various bombings.

A youtube video about the Weather Underground's plans to bomb a dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey, in which hundreds of servicemen and their dates would have been killed if the plan wasn't foiled.

Fire in the Night, by John Murtagh. An essay by a Yonkers, NY city councilman whom the Weather Underground tried to murder in 1970, when he was a child. The Weather Underground firebombed his family's house, while his father was a judge who was presiding over a trial of Black Panthers who were plotting terrorist acts. Again, this particular essay takes then-candidate Barack Obama to task for his associations with Ayers, and Obama isn't part of the issue this time, so it might be counterproductive to bring it up.

Youtube video: excerpt of an interview with Larry Grathwohl, a federal agent who had infiltrated the Weather Underground. In this excerpt, Grathwohl explains Ayers' plans for establishing "reeducation centers" following the violent overthrow of the U.S. government, and murdering the estimated 25 million Americans who would resist being "reeducated."

New York Times Book Review of Bill Ayers' memoir Fugitive Days, which mentions Ayers' saying that he participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, the Pentagon in 1972. It also has Ayers' famous quote ''I don't regret setting bombs, 'I feel we didn't do enough." This review was published on September 11, 2001. More Ayers quotes:

''[about the July 4 fireworks celebrations he saw as a child] my brothers and I loved everything about the wild displays of noise and color, the flares, the surprising candle bombs, but we trembled mostly for the Big Ones, the loud concussions.''

The love affair seems to have continued into adulthood. Even today, he finds ''a certain eloquence to bombs, a poetry and a pattern from a safe distance,'' he writes.
