Professor Demeritus

Bill Ayers, radical Weatherman turned radical Education Professor, recently retired. But he has been denied "emeritus" status by the University of Illinois.

In 1974 Ayers dedicated a book to a long list of people, including Sirhan Sirhan, the man who assassinated Robert Kennedy. But the chairman of the board of the University of Illinois is a man named Christopher Kennedy, who happens to be a son of Robert Kennedy.

He said he could not confer the title "to a man whose body of work includes a book dedicated in part to the man who murdered my father."

From way back,
comes payback.
