Certainly Mr. Ayers has a right to free speech and an opinion. That doesn’t mean his speech or opinions are credible and deserving of any respect – including respect in the form of remuneration from a SC state institution of higher learning.

The man is very well respected in his field and I found his lectures(which had absolutely nothing to do with the current controversy)pretty interesting at the time. None of this excuses his past - or the invitation in hindsight, but I can tell you firsthand that it would be a total mis-characterization to suggest that the content of these events was out of line. Totally focused on education policy.

My husband was ranting about this earlier this evening. His question was how many parents scrimp and save to send their children to a university where they are going to be taught by a professor who once advocated young people killing their parents and bombing the federal government. My guess would be precisely none. I hope USC gets bombarded by complaints from alumni, as well as taxpayers. I agree completely with you about Ayers.
