Pajamas Media » Teachers: They’re All Bill Ayers Now: "Students at Georgia Southern University did not get to hear Bill Ayers speak last week for the now oft-given reason of expensive security. Like students at other campuses, some students there objected to the use of their student fees to bring in the co-founder of the Weather Underground. Ayers’ past also led Illinois State Senator Larry Bomke to call for his firing through his proposal to forbid a public university from employing someone who has “committed a violent act against the United States.”

“Ayers may be a respected professor and author to some people now, but that doesn’t excuse the horrible acts he has committed in the past” is what Georgia Southern senior Lance Sullivan told the student newspaper, the George-Anne Daily. It’s a testament to the ignorance of what goes on in colleges of education that such statements are often accepted as truisms."
