Ayers‘s Influence on Education (cont’d)

Ayers maintains a busy lecture schedule at other schools of education and is a welcome visiting lecturer at Columbia Teachers College. He also does teacher training and professional development for Chicago public schools.

In a 2000 interview with REVOLUTION, the magazine of the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Revolutionary Communist Party, Ayers attacked American conservative as “the most reactionary cabal of ideologues I’ve seen.” Ayers complained that conservatives “all three branches of the federal government, control many state governments, control the media – the kind of bought priest-hood of the media that does nothing but bow down to them and kowtow to them.”

Ayers endorsed a book Queering Elementary Education by William J. Letts IV and James T. Sears, a collection of essays to teach adults and children to “think queerly.” The blurb on the cover quotes Ayers as saying this is “a book for all teachers …. And, yes, it has an agenda.”

Your signature legalized at least four divisive and ruinous principles in public education: 1.) coercion 2.) adversary relationship 3.) exclusivity 4.) agency fees.

In addition your special interest union bill furthers the politicization of the teaching profession and union boss control of education.

About two hundred years ago Thomas Jefferson wrote, “That to compel a man to furnish contributions or money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” …. I urge you to repeal S.B. 160…

I don’t want to become a molded and programmed union organization first educator. I will fight to remain a free & independent-minded professional teacher.

The principles of freedom and cooperation, not collectivism and coercion, are our heritage and legacy for future generations. Instead you and others have played politics with the education of children. This is criminal...
