America’s Least Wanted 2009

Malcolm A. Kline, December 31, 2009

In the summary spirit of the season, Accuracy in Academia offers 10 reasons for ending tenure:

1) To not put the president’s favorite professor at the top of this roster would be a gross injustice. “At a press conference on August 20, America’s Survival, Inc. unveiled the results of several Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests made regarding the curriculum and activities of University of Illinois at Chicago professor Bill Ayers,” AIA staff writer Bethany Stotts wrote on August 25, 2009. “Ayers has visited Germany, the Netherlands, and Venezuela to advance his educational ideals, said Cliff Kincaid, President of America’s Survival and editor of Accuracy in Media. “The so-called World [Education] Forum in Venezuela carried the title ‘Bolivarian Education and the Overcome of the Capitalist School,’” he said. “Ayers in his speech of 2006 made reference then to this being his fourth trip to Venezuela.”

2) Similarly, it would be unfair not to include Ayers’ wife―Northwestern University professor Bernardine Dohrn―alongside her husband in any honorable mentions. “Officers of the San Francisco Police Officers Association charge that Ayres and Dohrn are largely responsible for the bombing of a police station that killed Sgt. Brian McDonnell and injured eight other officers on February l6, l970,” columnist Allen C. Brownfeld wrote in a column that AIA posted on April 3, 2009. “San Francisco police leaders say there are ‘irrefutable and compelling reasons’ that establish the responsibility of Ayers and Dohrn for the bombing. No one has ever been charged with this attack. However, former FBI informant Larry Grathwohl ― who was an undercover member of the Weather Underground ― has implicated both Ayers and Dohrn in sworn testimony and in his l976 book."...
