    Ayers is a legend in his own weak mind. What is dangerous about him is that he teaches teachers to be teachers.

    Heaven forfend the US should have teachers who actually know how to teach. Students might actually learn something, and then where would you neocons be?

    Education naturally terrifies wingnuts like yourself. Education tends to make people resistant to right-wing propaganda lies. Especially yours, because they're so obvious.

    Better to keep them ignorant, and more easily lied to. Works for you, doesn't it wingnut?
