Ayers and his revolutionary educational gameplan for America
Bill Ayers has been getting a lot of press lately for his connection to Obama and his status as “unrepentant terrorist” from the 60s.
But forget about that for a while, and take a good look instead at the “rehabilitated” Ayers—the “respectable” and “mainstream” professor of education rather than the terrorist. It appears that the Ayers brand of education is the attaining of the same Leftist revolutionary ends by more peaceful and more subtle means.
Read the whole thing. Remember it was written in 2006, without any anti-Obama tie-in.
Some of the phrases in the article have found their way into Obama’s worldview: we live in dark times, pedagogy of hope; students required to engage in community activism. Maybe Ayers and Obama weren’t best buddies, but they certainly aren’t philosopical enemies.
Let’s consider this: the President can appoint to Cabinet positions with Congressional approval. We get Obama as President and a Democratic majority for Congress. He could easily appoint Ayres to a Cabinet post (say Secretary of Education) and there wouldn’t be a thing anyone could do or say about it. That’s where I think he is headed.
