Bill Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist, cop-killer, political activist professor, friend and former colleague of Barack Obama, used police protection to hide himself from a confrontation with an activist at the University of Illinois. Accuracy in Media details Ayers' mind-blowing display of cowardice and hypocrisy.

The Communist terrorist who planned bombings of police stations, in order to inflict maximum injury and death on police officers, is now depending on the police at the University of Illinois, where he is a “distinguished” professor, to protect him from the tough questions of students' parents. In fact, one parent who presented Ayers with a Bible and a copy of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged was arrested last Thursday night and charged with the curious offense of somehow interfering with university affairs. A visibly-nervous Ayers accepted the books but quickly placed them down on a table.

It's understandable that the mere sight of the Bible would place the fear of God into a murderer like Ayres, and that the words of Ayn Rand would further shake a committed communist, but galling nonetheless that a man who took activism against the estyablishment to a new level doesn't seem so committed to the idea when he himself represents the establishment.

Charges were later dropped against the parent activist, Mark Thompson. The charges were ridiculous on their face.

According to Lt. Roy Acree of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Police Department, parent Mark Thompson was arrested on a charge of “interference with a public institution of higher education” because of his activity at the Ayers lecture. Ironically, the statute (720 ILCS 5/Art. 21.2 heading) was passed "in recognition of unlawful campus disorders across the nation," which is precisely what Ayers and his comrades in the Students for a Democratic Society were doing on college campuses in the 1960s.

Not only did Ayers hide behind rules he helped necessitate, he did so while teaching and exhorting activism.

Thompson, who attended every session with Ayers, believes that Ayers is a “political pedophile” who engages in the socialist brainwashing of America’s college students.

Ironically, Ayers was speaking on the subject of “activism.” Thompson counters: “If anything I was the perfect case study for a lecture on ‘the new activism,’ as the evening [March 12] lecture was titled.”

The fact that Ayers receives a paycheck paid for by taxpayer funds is the only crime here. As a one-time student at the University of Wisconsin, I've long advocated the idea of boycotting or shutting down the University of Illinois, based on its college hoops thuggery alone. Now I've got political reasons, too. Thompson sums it up best:

Thompson, whose daughter attends one of the University of Illinois campuses, has made it his mission to expose and challenge Ayers. “Only in America can an admitted Anarchist, terrorist bomber, Socialist and communist sympathizer become one of the nation’s foremost educational leaders in curriculum development, from pre-school to post graduate, to teaching teachers,” Thompson says. “Bill Ayers’ influence can’t be overstated, as the vice president of ‘curriculum development’ for the American Educational Research Association, the largest organization of its kind comprising over 25,000 professors and researchers.”
