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.
