Columbia University hires former Weather Undergound convict

The Days of Rage scared off much of the mainstream support for the SDS, leaving only the most radical. In December of 1969, the SDS War Council was held in Flint, Michigan. Largely led by members of the Weather Underground, what came to be known as the Flint War Council meeting was the rhetorical stage for much of the bloodshed that was to come.

Over three hundred people attended, including Kathy Boudin and future Obama neighbors Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, who were both extremely active Weather Underground leaders. Decisions were made to ‘go underground’ and to launch an offensive against the United States. At one point, they discussed whether white babies were valid targets and Boudin gave a speech referring to mothers of white babies as ‘pig mothers.’

The meeting wasn’t just talk; it was the kick-off for what would become over twenty bombings and other terrorist acts over the next 15 years.

The Brinks heist is often described as a ‘botched robbery’, but this is another characterization of Boudin’s crimes that gives an inaccurate impression, as though the Brinks robbery took an unexpected violent turn. This isn’t true; the crime was planned as a violent ambush and was carried out according to plan.

Richard and Sigaba, I guess this is the type of person who you don't mind teaching our youth.

Let the cycle continue.

I would have no issues with her lecturing to my sons - whether or not they accepted her POVs is entirely up to them - I would hope that I had taught them well enough to know the difference between fact and fiction by the time they were in college.

Based upon our conversations over the years, I think they would.

And what about children who were not raised around your dinner table? Or any dinner table.

If its true and you are paying for a product you betcha. The higher education system is a business, it sells a product. Most products sold to the masses require product labeling which discloses ingredients, hazards, etc so the consumer is aware of what they are buying.

Failure to disclose information can lead to legal troubles.


Columbia's product label for Ms. Bounding, her Bio is missing some critical information that could effect the decision making process of the consumer. Fact is her Columbia bio could mislead the consumer.

Richard- It was meant to be in pink font... BUT- Following Columbia's logic- Lt Calley should be a 5 Star General and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff...

She's been teaching for 8 years.....


"Of the hundreds of students Boudin has taught, Yoshioka said, just three have expressed qualms about her criminal background, and only one “switched out” of a class because of those concerns."

Consider the paltry percentage of students who expressed a pang of conscience with only one acting with morality. What does that say about the college student population in general and at Columbia specifically?

Study Finds Every Style Of Parenting Produces Disturbed, Miserable Adults
L'oignon, 26 Oct 2011

A study released by the California Parenting Institute Tuesday shows that every style of parenting inevitably causes children to grow into profoundly unhappy adults.

"Our research suggests that while overprotective parenting ultimately produces adults unprepared to contend with life's difficulties, highly permissive parenting leads to feelings of bitterness and isolation throughout adulthood," lead researcher Daniel Porter said. "And, interestingly, we found that anything between those two extremes is equally damaging, always resulting in an adult who suffers from some debilitating combination of unpreparedness and isolation.

Despite great variance in parenting styles across populations, the end product is always the same: a profoundly flawed and joyless human being."

The study did find, however, that adults often achieve temporary happiness when they have children of their own to perpetuate the cycle of human misery.

First, it says parenting between the extremes of overprotectiveness and permissiveness. There are other parenting styles. Also, I am to believe that, according to this, "despite great variance in parenting, the end product is always a profoundly flawed and joyless human being?"

That is total bullshit.

PS- The Onion? Really?

And is she required to inform all of the students attending her class of her criminal history?

I would like to believe the numbers would be different if so.

If I am paying my young adults education I would not pay for a class taught by a terrorist and if I we were in the process looking for schools to attend come Fall I would cross Columbia off the list.


I do work for a History Professor from time to time that comes from a well known establishment. He is a likeable chap, who among other things mocks Capitalism, his basement is a treasure trove of Communist/Marxists/Socialist literature, he praises Che and Mao, and he lives for the day Dick Cheney bites it.

He also hates Christianity, and enjoys turning his classes on the openly Christian students in the class and rejoices when said students are brought to tears.

The kids love him too and he gets high marks on Rate My Professor! And someone like Yoshioka thinks he is suitable in a classroom as well.

Do you think we are giving this O2 stealing POS more PR than it deserves??

Angela Davis

Her crime - 1970
A judge, one of the jurors, the prosecutor, and the three black men were killed in a shootout. Davis had purchased the firearms used in the attack, including the shotgun used to kill Haley, which had been purchased two days prior and sawed off. She had also written numerous letters found in the prison cell of one of the murderers.

Today

She is a retired professor with the History of Consciousness Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and is the former director of the university's Feminist Studies department.

It's special that not only are these vermin honored by students and other faculty, but are given a pass by so-called straight thinkers.

If you don't have a problem with evildoers such as Ayers, Davis and the subject of this post having input into your kids' development, you're an enabler, in my book.

This scum wasn't part of the solution decades ago, and they're not, now.

I lump these scumbags in with she who will not be named.
