Listen to the 2 videos on that link to hear in Ayers' recent words how he still has the same goals as he did in the 60's, he's just calmed his demeanor and methods. He still wants to gather all the “oppressed” people of society (women, blacks, LBGTQ, workers, minorities) for one common purpose of combatting the evil oppressors and working towards social justice. He still finds it extremely important to gather the youth of the nation for this cause and realizes that youth intrinsically have a need for a real purpose to their activism so Ayers' stresses the utmost importance of using the words “morality and values” in this socialistic cause. Ever wonder why the words “morality” and “values” are stressed so much in the Goodlad/Ayers Democracy Agenda and why ASD pushes this concept so much in all their educational philosophies? Does anyone ever question whose morals and values our children are supposed to follow when these words come from an unrepentant terrorist and his friend and cohort socialist John Goodlad? Not everyone has the same meaning when they use the words morals and values, so should we just leave those things up to the government schools to teach because they sound nice?

His terrorism and murders was an embarrassment to the majority of college students and young adults who were living productive law abiding lives. The embarrassment has turned to anger as the powers that be let this man off the hook and propelled him to the forefront of education. Because of my life experience I have to question the sanity of anyone who would embrace this man's radically violent socialist philosophy.

Here is Wiki that gives a lot of background on Ayers: https://keywiki.org/index.php/Bill_Ayers

As for the LDS church, it is utterly false that they have ever viewed blacks as “less than fully human” and the fact that you would equate Ayers to the LDS church is a reflection of your ignorance in the matter. If you do some research you'll find that the Mormons were driven from Missouri in the early days of the church because they were anti-slavery and you would find Joseph Smith's plan to free the slaves through the sale of public lands which would have avoided the civil war. You'd also find this statement by Brigham Young in 1852 referring to blacks receiving the Priesthood: “That time will come when they will have the privilege of all we have the privilege of and more.”

This thread is about Ayers. If you want to discuss blacks and the LDS church any further, contact me offline. I'd be happy to send you more information.

Which is more excusable? I don't think either is– scumbags are scumbags.

They wouldn't drop their association because of this charming gentleman's association with the group, or because of the NNER's push for equality in the University for gay students, but they would for money.
Hmmmm….

BYU states the Moral Dimension this way: Enculturating the Young IN a social and political democracy. Alpine School District, in their documentation, banner, website, etc. has changed the wording to read: Enculturating the Young INTO a social and political democracy. Small words. BIG difference in meaning.
Now on to digest the rest of this article. You post some very interesting info Oak!
