The Real Problem with William Ayers

William Ayers has received a lot of media attention in the last few months because of his ties to Senator Obama. There is good reason for Ayers to get attention as he was a leader of a domestic terrorist organization the Weathermen. This is an organization that is know for acts of violence and terrorism against Americans and judges in the 1960's in an effort to intimidate the court system to give into their Marxist agenda. The Weathermen are no better than the KKK in their attempts to intimidate African Americans into not voting or moving into segregated neighborhoods.

Alas, I digress. William Ayers is now a professor at the University of Chicago. He can now take his ultra-liberal agenda and instead of inciting violence, he can indoctrinate students into believing his agenda. A teacher who interjects their attitudes and prejudices into the classroom is far more dangerous than a street thug who lobs bombs into Federal Courthouses. A teacher who only teaches their side of the story instead of teaching students to think on their own has the ability to create a generation of Americans who have a warped perspective on freedom, patriotism, and ethics.

William Ayers shows all that is wrong with academie today. Professors who are like William Ayers philosophically receive tenure from government universities; universities that claim to promote critical thinking and a balanced education. According to Martin Anderson in his book Imposters in the Temple, about 80% of professors in the major American public universities are liberal Democrats. These professors have the ability to indoctrinate students into hearing and believing their world views, thus creating the next generation of liberals.

This is not to say that all professors impose their prejudices against conservatives into the classroom. In fact, most do not. But, there are extreme cases in which domestic terrorists like William Ayers and communists like Robert Jensen at the University of Texas publicly celebrated when the jets hit the World Trade Center on September 11. These extreme cases are what promotes and encourages philosophical liberals who have never worked an honest job and hold elitist views that shun the average Americans. These extreme cases result in ultra-liberals like Barack Obama being able to be a viable candidate for the highest public service office in the land.

This is the real problem with William Ayers.
