Now that the unrepentant domestic terrorist Ayers is hitting the talk shows students and faculty must feel compelled to protest the cancellation of his "lecture".
The controversy over Bill Ayers continues this week in America's heartland. On Friday, November 14, a teach-in protest is taking place on the Lincoln campus at the University of Nebraska.
Flyers are billing the event as a chance to "make Nebraska history" as students and faculty come "to protest UNL's decision to cancel the November 15 lecture by Prof. William Ayers and that decision's violation of academic freedom."
"Make Nebraska history"? Pleeease. The protesters need to realize why his lecture was cancelled - pocketbook issues for the U of Nebraska.
