Revolution went from violent overthrow to co-opting the system ( Ayers/SDS )

Revolution went from violent overthrow to co-opting the system ( Ayers/SDS ):

- “Many of the SDS leaders have publicly declared themselves to be revolutionaries dedicated to the Marxist-Leninist ideology. For example, Mark Rudd, William Ayers, and Jeffrey Carl (Jeff) Jones, leading national officers of the SDS, publicly identified themselves as revolutionary communists during a televised interview over station WJW-TV in Cleveland, Ohio, on August 30, 1969.”

Ayers, of couse, is of especial interest these days because he is a reputed friend of President Obama, but we should be more interested in him because of his long and respected career as a professor of education. How, after all, does society tolerate as a teacher someone who wrote this about the typical high school student: “Imperialism oppresses him by jailing him [in school] and the only thing to do is break out and tear up the jail [school].”

-That’s because the SDS strategy for America’s schools was two-fold from the beginning...But what it doesn’t explain is why America has accepted Ayers and other revolutionaries as respected leaders of our country instead of self-avowed traitors who should hang their heads in shame..................
