Wonderful: Bill Ayers blogging at HuffPo now

Irony alert from an unrepentant Communist ideologue who not only reveres, but collaborates with Fidel and Chavez; is a member of the segment of society who bought the claims that Stalin’s Russia was “the land of milk and honey”; who claim the debate is over regarding global warming climate change, ad nauseum:

Much of what we call schooling forecloses or shuts down or walls off meaningful choice-making. Much of it is based on obedience and conformity, the hallmarks of every authoritarian regime. Much of it banishes the unpopular, squirms in the presence of the unorthodox, hides the unpleasant. There’s no space for skepticism, irreverence, or even doubt. While many of us long for teaching as something transcendent and powerful, we find ourselves too-often locked in situations that reduce teaching to a kind of glorified clerking, passing along a curriculum of received wisdom and predigested and often false bits of information. This is a recipe for disaster in the long run.

But hey, Billy, thanks for admitting that YOU pass along a curriculum of false bits of information (although “bits” far understates the extent of the falsehoods you disseminate).
