Bill Ayers's Visit to Chicago High School Canceled

Kermit Eby, one of Ayers's students, now teaches American History at Naperville North High School. Eby invited Ayers to speak at the high school on April 8, but after public outcry, Ayers's visit was canceled. According to Supt. Alan Leis of the School District 203, "clearly our community has let us know that they just don't think that's [Ayers' visit is] appropriate" (Chicagotribune.com).

Ayers brashly admitted that he was "guilty as hell" in planting bombs in the 1970s, and that he has no regrets and feels that he and his Weather Underground associates "didn't do enough." From his prestigious and safe university position, Ayers has been teaching teachers and students in rebellion against American capitalism and what he calls "imperialism" and "oppression." The code words for the Ayers curriculum are "social justice," a "transformative" vision, "critical pedagogy," "liberation," "capitalist injustices," "critical race theory," "queer theory," and of course multiculturalism and feminism.
