Jan. 28, 7:30 p.m.: Bill Ayers: Trudging Toward Freedom (public lecture)
Bill Ayers is a Professor of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago and has just released the Handbook of Social Justice in Education. He is noted for his work in education reform and also for his controversial history as a founder of the Weather Underground. He will discuss his life and work and their inevitable intersection in the pursuit of social justice.
Most folks don’t realize how much the “peace and social justice” crowd has taken over Catholic colleges. It was already starting over 40 years ago when I attended Boston College. And FReepers wonder why 54% of Catholic voters went for Obama...
I was on my parishes social justice committee for three weeks, quit in disgust.
My Uncle, a World War ll Marine, flew his flag at half staff from Nov. 5 to Dec. 5 and he is also going to fly it at half staff on Jan. 20.
He will no doubt be offering a tribute to Timothy McVeigh and Sirhan Sirhan.
The Vatican has had a “Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace” for decades, so that junk is no longer fringe, unfortunately.
Not sure if you noted any of the other speakers on this “alternative” roster, but they are all total lefties.
Can you imagine what would happen if Ann Coulter was scheduled to speak or David Horowitz?
The tolerance would be zero.
Catholic social teaching really starte with Pope Leo, it was a response to Marxism, to which it was totally opposed.
The liberals in the church have pushed that envelope to the point where we find ourselves with a boutique Catholic College hosting a terrorist for what...balance?
Half of Morage is probably to the left of Ayers, give me a break.
As far as I know it, there is no law against flying the flag at half-staff on private property. I am seriously considering doing this not only on Jan. 20 but for the full 4 years. Might get myself in the news over this but I feel that strong about what is happening to this country.
Who's protecting the Ayers? Wealthy, influential Daddy Ayers is not doing it now. Who?
Academe employees? MSM employees?
Now the Great Leader will stop any and all federal inquires into murders strongly suspected to have been committed by Weather Underground; namely, Mr. and Mrs. Ayers.
Will the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California be the first one to be fired?
okie dokie. (Where is Moraga?) Can y'all help spread the word on this?
WAAAAAAAAY far from you and I. I had to Google it...I'd never even HEARD of it...
I’ve never hear of Moraga, California.
I thought this guy only spoke to rich lefties.
Arrest him for treason.
It might not be a bad idea to get a “Flag at half staff” movement going. We certainly respect and revere the flag so much more than they do. Their side probably wouldn’t notice or care.
Since it's in the Bay area, he's in the right neighborhood.
Yeah that’s a good 6-7 hour drive probably for you. 5 or 6 for me.
no thanks!
SCP, know any Bay area peeps?
I’m sorry, but this pernicious turd-bag needs killing badly.
Hi lainie
off hand Tamar1973 who sometimes posts on the Levin thread.
Am glad Ayers will be several hundreds miles N. of me.
I couldn’t take the stench.
I hope the current Pope will be able to fix the things that need fixing.
