Bill Ayers and a University of Wyoming student filed suit against UW on Thursday, asking a federal judge for an injunction allowing Ayers to speak on campus later this month.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Cheyenne, comes three days after UW banned Ayers, a University of Illinois-Chicago education professor with a radical past, from using any university venue for a planned April 28 lecture.
The lawsuit alleges the ban is unconstitutional under First Amendment rights to free speech and to assemble.
In 1969, Ayers co-founded the Weather Underground, a Marxist-Leninist anti-war group that claimed responsibility for a series of bombings -- including explosions at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol in the early 1970s that didn't kill anyone.

In 2005, Lane won an injunction for another controversial figure, former University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill, to speak on CU's campus.

Isn’t Ayers sick? I always think he LOOKS sick....
It is unconstitutional for the government to restrict free speech. That does not mean that you must be provided with an auditorium and a microphone.
Little “explainers” like “...that didn’t kill anyone.” added to articles about liberals are so blatant. If a tea party guy or republican planted a bomb long ago, does anyone really think this little phrase would be added to a sentence about it?
Aw Jeez, not Bill Errs again.
Once a subversive ........
why don’t they just blow up the University?
Violence against an just government is fine according to Ayres.
Better yet: why doesn’t someone just shoot Ayres and his punk friends. They work for the government and act in an unjust fashion...don’t they?
(No, I don’t condone violence. I’m just saying....)
It’s a disclaimer....and in fact...they did kill a cop...they just havent been pinned to it yet...
A California open-government group wants to see the records relating to Sarah Palin’s controversial planned visit to a Northern California university. Californians Aware filed a lawsuit against California State, Stanislaus Friday for failing to disclose documents related to the June 25 event at the Turlock campus. The group alleges the university ignored repeated requests to clarify whether it has Palin-related records in its possession, instead referring the request to the CSU Stanislaus Foundation, a nonprofit organization that raises money for the campus’s scholarships, research and other projects. “The university was given every opportunity to disclose the records before this suit...
Nimrod progressives want it both ways!
Seriously though, where does some fool get the idea that you can go get a judge to force someone or something to allow someone to speak. So what if the judge does lift the injuction? The school could just say that they don't want anyone speaking on that day in question, or some other such denial. The school should be able to have whoever they want to speak and deny who they don't want.
Nor do you have a Right to Demand Payment or Expenses... for your “Appearance”!
Nor can a Student DEMAND Institutions SPEND to pamper that student.
The first amendment is a limitation on the federal government. The first amendment doesn’t apply to the University of Wyoming.
Commie fighting for his right to free-speech. Hmmmm No conflict in that, none at all.
I think he can go to a field and talk.
You are correct. Say Bill Ayers wants to lecture me in my own house and I tell him to stick it up his poop shoot. I would be within my rights to tell him to do so.
He belongs in prison. He can spread his poison in there while dodging being someones back door boy.
I'd think that if delusional lefties can plan a citizen's arrest of the Pope, Ayers would be a natural for a fast, firm detainment...
The Pope never planted bombs as far as I can tell. Ayers did.
Mr. Bill Ayers should take full advantage of his 1st ammendment rights, and expound his views at any saloon, job site or river bank, from Rock Springs to Cheyenne. Just do that Mr. Ayers, and then and only then- will you fully appreciate 1st ammendment rights, and perhaps the 2nd ammendment rights that were bestowed by God, upon Our Great Nation.
