Oh, Hell No!

Hey UNL faculty and students...please get your heads out of your ass

Although I am a transplanted Nebraskan, I have grown to love this state, the cities, towns, villages, the wide open spaces, and most importantly, the people, which is why when I see an article such as above, it is so maddening to me.

Contrary to your misguided and warped view, William Ayers is not some high brow Oxford professor who wishes to bring to the students and faculty his Nobel Peace Prize winning doctoral thesis on the life of the three spotted nocturnal titmouse, but rather an American hating domestic terrorist who honestly believes he didn't do enough during his time as a member of The Weatherman/The Weather Underground Organization.

Cry academic freedom all you want, but you must be honest and sincere with yourselves...what would William Ayers bring to UNL? Nothing except the same tired rhetoric from the 1960s, but wrapped in bright, new, shiny paper, much like the Fruitcake from Christmas that keeps getting re-gifted, year after year, until someone finally gets fed up with it and throws it in the trash.

I would venture to say that UNL would not invite Timothy McVeigh , Eric Rudolph or Ted Kaczinsky to lecture the students and faculty on their thoughts about America.

So what makes William Ayers different from Timothy McVeigh, Eric Rudolph, or Ted Kaczinsky?

Nothing, except the thin veneer of academic apologists for the radical left.
