Marquette Professor supports Bill Ayers

A quick check of this online petition in support of Bill Ayers found that one Marquette professor, Jack Winters, apparently has signed it.

I just sent him a polite email expressing my disappointment, as a Marquette alum, that a Marquette prof would sign such a petition. I also explained why the petition is fundamentally wrong in its assumptions (Bill Ayers is not being "demonized", and the issue is not one of "academic freedom").

I'll let you know if I hear back from him.

I first heard about this petition on Fox news this morning, but I see The Other McCain is all over it, too.

Be sure to read this post, play the video, follow the links. Absolutely chilling.
