Students Protest Ayers -- and Find Major Alumni Support

Last semester, Purdue University invited political radical and self-described terrorist Bill Ayers to speak on education, race, gender, and class as a “distinguished speaker.” Ayers, you'll recall, bombed the Capitol building in 1971and the Pentagon in 1972 as part of the violent group, the Weather Underground.

Members of the Conservative Coalition for American Values (CCAV) were morally outraged by their University’s decision so they passed out flyers outlining Ayers' radical track record to fellow students, and rallied together with other Purdue University students and concerned members of the community for a peaceful protest.

Not only did the protest gain national media attention, but it also gained the attention of concerned Purdue University alumni -- who soon supported the conservative students on campus.

Has Your School Brought a Terrorist to Campus Today?

Kill all the rich people.  Break up their cars and apartments.  Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at. [emphasis mine]

This quote is attributed to the infamous Bill Ayers, founder of the radical terrorist group, the Weather Underground.  He later went on to say:

Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon.  The sky was blue.  The birds were singing and the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them. [emphasis mine]

With quotes like these, it isn't hard to see what Ayers' perspective is and how little value he places on human life -- or at least the lives of those with whom this self-described terrorist disagrees.

Purdue University invited Ayers to speak on education, race, gender, and class this fall, using one of the left's favorite rallying cries -- "academic freedom" -- to justify bringing a terrorist as a distinguished speaker.

This did not sit well with members of the Conservative Coalition for American Values or Young Americans for Liberty -- so they took it to the streets!

Purdue Must Pay for Ayres

In his memoir Fugitive Days, he admits planting bombs in federal buildings such as the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol (“Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon,” he writes). He was one of the founders of the radical terrorist group the Weather Underground. Escaping justice because of prosecutorial misconduct, he transformed himself into a respected academic, a distinguished professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago. There is perhaps no better symbol of the 1960s moral relativist than he.
