Bill Ayers: The Left Must Utilize Its ‘Absolute Access’ to America’s Classrooms
Bill Ayers, former domestic terrorist-turned university professor, reemerged earlier this month to explain how the Left’s access to schools and neighborhoods will help them shape the future of America. Speaking at a New York University “Change the Stakes” meeting on Dec. 4, he said the Left must utilize the existing “movements on the ground.”
In the video, obtained by EAGnews.org, Ayers also first blasts conservatives for portraying President Barack Obama as a “secret Muslim” and a “secret sociopath,” running around with “terrorists and Arabs.” He lamented the fact that many liberals felt like Obama was “winking” at them while he portrayed himself as a compromising moderate – but Obama ended up disappointing the far left, according to Ayers.
“The same people, and I’m sure some of us in this room, are saying, ‘But the second term he’ll be free,’” he said. “Forget about it. That’s not where change comes from.”
“If we want change to come, we would do well not to look at the sites of power we have no access to; the White House, the Congress, the Pentagon,” Ayers added. “We have absolute access to the community, the school, the neighborhood, the street, the classroom, the workplace, the shop, the farm.”
“Why are we ignoring that and saying, ‘I hope Obama makes peace’?” he asked. “Forget about it. He’s not going to do anything if you don’t do something.”
“So, our job is movement building, [Obama’s] job is governance and sitting in a chair of empire.”

What Ayers knows that most Americans do not is that the primary emphasis of both the new Common Core K-12 classroom and the college classroom under the Crucible Moment criteria is social and emotional learning and social interaction. This has been going on for more than 20 years but the new assessments and project focus will now mask the academic effects. http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/continuing-our-conversation-on-the-planned-psychologizing-of-each-student-via-the-classroom/ lays out how to create a false belief system that daily creates erroneous perceptions and influence a new, collectivist values system.
Ayers was also heavily involved in what are called the Standards for Learning and Teaching that provoked the Whole Language controversy and the math and science wars in the 90s. In both a scripted speech at a Nevada high school and in his nomination acceptance speech, President Obama has repeatedly referred to the student-centered standards inspired by John Dewey’s remake society vision as the real common core.
Americans have no idea just how much education, K-12 and higher ed, is being turned into a weapon. Ayers is also in a position to know just how much the accreditation agencies are driving all these mandates. Most people are unaware just how much of the poison emanates from private entities they assume to be watchdogs on their behalf.
The election of Barack Obama is the worst thing to ever happen to the United States. Second is the Vietnam war.
I think Ayers is as evil a man as any Nazi in hierarchy of Nazi Germany. Bill Ayers was a great factor in Obama’s rise to power, as he was in the overthrow of the Egyptian government. A brilliant, warped man — but no less warped than his lesser intellect of a counterpart, Barack Obama.
We desperately need to push back against these monsters.
