This is a copy of the response my daughter got when she e-mailed the school:

"Sherri, thank you for your comments. Dr. Ayers was invited earlier this year for this student research conference, based on his outstanding research and scholarship in the field of education. He is highly regarded in his field and by his peers, scholars and students.

He will not talk about anything other than his research on teaching and urban school reform.

It's important that you know that we do not condone violence or any of the behaviors that Dr. Ayers engaged in 40 years ago. I can understand your strong feelings about this speaker and will pass your comments along to the dean and chancellor's office.

Kelly Bartling, manager of news"

Yeah, that's the standard BS reply from the school. The fact of the matter is that if Ayers hadn't been brought back into the spotlight because of Obama, he would not have been invited under any pretext. If this clown was such a great "scholar" and so "highly regarded in his field" by his peers, then why wasn't he invited long ago?

It would have never ever crossed anyone's mind to invite this terrorist to speak if he hadn't been dragged out from under his slimy rock and brought to national attention recently.
