America Hating Scumbag, Bill Ayers, Gets a Writing Gig at HuffPo!
The Huffington Post has given Bill Ayers a blog. Wow, there’s a shocker!
The HuffPo even gave him his own BIO section which I’ve copied below. See if you can spot anything that’s missing.
“William Ayers, Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), and founder of both the Small Schools Workshop and the Center for Youth and Society, teaches courses in interpretive and qualitative research, urban school change, and teaching and the modern predicament. A graduate of the University of Michigan, the Bank Street College of Education, Bennington College, and Teachers College, Columbia University, Ayers has written extensively about social justice, democracy and education, the cultural contexts of schooling, and teaching as an essentially intellectual, ethical, and political enterprise. He is vice-president of the curriculum division of the American Educational Research Association, and a member of the executive committee of the UIC Faculty Senate.
Ayers’ articles have appeared in many journals including the Harvard Educational Review, the Journal of Teacher Education, Teachers College Record, Rethinking Schools, The Nation, Educational Leadership, the New York Times and the Cambridge Journal of Education.
His books include A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court (Beacon Press, 1997), Fugitive Days: A Memoir (Beacon Press, 2001, 2008), The Good Preschool Teacher: Six Teachers Reflect on Their Lives, (Teachers College Press, 1989), and To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher, (Teachers College Press, 1993) which was named Book of the Year in 1993 by Kappa Delta Pi, and won the Witten Award for Distinguished Work in Biography and Autobiography in 1995.
He lives in Hyde Park, Chicago with his wife, Bernardine Dohrn.”
Fascinating read, huh? I found a few key names that were missing. For instance there was:
No mention of the Weather Underground.
No mention of Officer Walter Schroeder, murdered by The Weather Underground.
No mention of Officer Waverly Brown, murdered by the Weather Underground.
No mention of Sergeant Brian McDonnell, murdered by the Weather Underground.
No mention of Sergeant Edward J. O’Grady Jr., murdered by The Weather Underground.
No mention of Richard Elroy, assaulted and paralyzed by The Weather Underground.
No mention of the American genocide planned by the Weather Underground.
Nope. Nothing of the sort.
You will find his pointless article on education and Obama.
You’ll also find comments from HuffPo’s idiotic readers on how great Bill Ayers really is.
Note: These are real comments.
Here’s one…
“Great article Prof. Ayers. And welcome back to polite society. Your vision and idealism is a rare breath of fresh air as always.”
Another one:
“That was such an articulate and refreshing post. It was a joy to read and I agreed with all of the points made. I am looking forward to more of Mr. Ayers post’s on Huffpo as this article was compelling to read.”
What about this one?
“The villification of Bill Ayers was beyond reprehensible but at least now we get to hear from this learned educator. This article speaks truth re: the educational system as it is in this country today.”
The “vilification” of Bill Ayers? Are these people on crack?
I know the media helped to keep the public in the dark on Ayers’ real record but the fact that Ayers has been given a voice by the NY Times and now the HuffPo prove that the majority of Americans really have no idea who he is or what he’s done in the past.
If most Americans knew the truth about William Ayers, Bernadine Dorhn and the Weather Underground, we wouldn’t be reading their words in op-eds and blogs. We’d be petitioning congress to throw them in jail.
Where they belong.
