Take a look at the college’s description of Ayers:
William Ayers, formerly Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), founder of both the Small Schools Workshop and the Center for Youth and Society, has written extensively about social justice, democracy and education, the cultural contexts of schooling, and teaching as an essentially intellectual, ethical, and political enterprise.
Curiously, there seem to be quite a few things missing from his body of work…including the bodies. In his “impressive” list of writings, no mention of his dedication to Sirhan Sirhan who murdered Robert Kennedy in his book Prairie Fire or any of his famous quotes including “Kill the Capitalist pig,” referring to America and “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents. That’s where it is really at.” His wife Bernardin Dohrn notably said regarding the brutal Manson murders in California, “Dig it. First they killed those pigs. Then they ate dinner in the same room with them. Then they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild,” referring to then pregnant actress Sharon Tate. [LINK]
“I don’t regret setting bombs, I feel we didn’t do enough,” Ayers was also quoted as saying.

No mention of his history with the domestic terrorist activities of Weather Underground, including his alleged role in the murder of Sgt. Brian McDonnell and the injuring of 9 others when a bomb was planted on February 16, 1970 at San Francisco’s Park Police Station. Not just a bomb, but a horrifically and diabolically planned bomb filled with nails and shrapnel meant to inflict as much death and suffering as possible.
