Yes, someone who associates with someone who has been doing the following for the last 20 years is exactly who I want running this country.
Academic career
Ayers is currently a Distinguished Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Education. His interests include teaching for social justice, urban educational reform, narrative and interpretive research, children in trouble with the law, and related issues.[35]
He began his career in primary education while an undergraduate, teaching at the Children’s Community School (CCS), a project founded by a group of students and based on the Summerhill method of education. After leaving the underground, he earned an M.Ed from Bank Street College in Early Childhood Education (1984), an M.Ed from Teachers College, Columbia University in Early Childhood Education (1987) and an Ed.D from Teachers College, Columbia University in Curriculum and Instruction (1987).
He has edited and written many books and articles on education theory, policy and practice, and has appeared on many panels and symposia.
Civic and political life
Ayers worked with Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley in shaping the city’s school reform program,[36]and was one of three co-authors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge grant proposal that in 1995 won $49.2 million over five years for public school reform.[37] Since 1999 he has served on the board of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago, an anti-poverty, philanthropicfoundation established as the Woods Charitable Fund in 1941.[38]According to Ayers, his radical past occasionally affects him, as when, by his account, he was asked not to attend a progressive educators’ conference in the fall of 2006 on the basis that the organizers did not want to risk an association with his past.[39]
I have a Professor that has reviewed dozens of books and has only met a few of the authors.
Also the book was about the Juvenile Court System in Chicago not about blowing up the Pentagon.
Listen I’m not going to defend Ayers but Obama is only loosely associated with him for his work with the Chicago Education System. From my understanding, you can’t even work on educational funding in Chicago without hearing about Ayers.
Obama is not a terrorist nor is he sympathetic to terrorism. He only know him do to his help in the Chicago Public Schools.
you are right. we may never know. but it’s something republicants haven’t thought of.
not like hockey moms will unite to key cars in a parking lot if palin isn’t elected.
But obama not getting elected…lock your doors homeboyee
Edited because I realized that my joke refering to previous posts about civil unrest/martial law/rioting could be taken as racist which was not my intetntion.
