The University of Nebraska-Lincoln rescinded its speaking invitation tonight for 1960s radical-turned-educator William Ayers.
University officials cited "safety reasons" for canceling Ayers' Nov. 15 appearance.
Spokeswoman Kelly Bartling declined to elaborate on what safety concerns would keep Ayers from addressing a College of Education and Human Sciences event.
Earlier today, Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman strongly condemned the invitation and called on the NU Board of Regents and President J.B. Milliken to block it.
Radical? He was a violent terrorist. Educator? He's using our tax dollars to indoctrinate our children with communism.
Bill POS Ayers BUMP!
I kinda wanted to see the protests.
On Greta’s show on Fox, it was stated that parents at Univ of Nebraska-Lincoln were furious about the invitation extended to Ayers, and threatened to pull their kids out. I wonder how many parents at Univ of Illinois-Chicago realize that Ayers is TEACHING their kids!!
