Posted August 29, 2014, by Mary Grabar: Terrorist Professor Non-Emeritus Bill Ayers has been given a spot on the American Association of University Professors' site Academe to proclaim his "solidarity" with Professor Steven Salaita, who after Tweeting vile comments about Israel had his offer of a position in the American Indian Studies Department at the University of Illinois withdrawn by the Board of Trustees. Some of Salaita's horribleTweets are described by George Leef of the Pope Center: “'At this point, if Netanyahu appeared on TV with a necklace made from the teeth of Palestinian children, would anybody be surprised?'

Keeping up with Bill Ayers, by Mary Grabar, Posted March 8, 2013...It's no easy task when you're talking about a retired (but not emeritus owing to a dedication to the assassin of a trustee's father, Robert F. Kennedy), "Distinguished Professor of Education," who jaunts from giving a speech to a major education conference, to organizing with a union, and then spending a week as scholar-in-residence at Minnesota State University Moorhead.
Dissident Prof listened to Ayers's blather in person at the Association of Teacher Educators conference in Atlanta. It turned out to be much like the blather in the presumably scholarly books and articles Ayers has penned.
What was dismaying was the fact that this professional organization of over 650 colleges and universities, 500 major school systems, and the majority of state departments of education, based in Washington, D.C., (to represent members' "interests"), invited Ayers. Thanks to mostly taxpayers, professors of education, teachers-in-training, and administrators enjoyed a few fun-filled days listening to Ayers's advice on how to subvert the will of the people when it comes to ensuring educational standards for students.
