UNL cancels William Ayers speech

Following widespread public furor over its invitation to ’60s and ’70s radical William Ayers to speak at a conference next month, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln late Friday canceled the speech for security reasons.
“The university’s threat assessment group monitored e-mails and other information UNL received regarding Ayers’ scheduled Nov. 15 visit, and identified safety concerns which resulted in the university canceling the event,” read a four-paragraph statement issued by UNL.
UNL refused to provide specifics on the threats, but Board of Regents Chairman Chuck Hassebrook of Lyons said law enforcement officers had expressed concerns about the potential for violence during Ayers’ speech
“My concern has been not with what he was going to say about education. It was that he’s an unrepentant terrorist,” he said. “(UNL) did the right thing.”
“This is an embarrassment to the University of Nebraska and the State of Nebraska,” Gov. Dave Heineman said. “Bill Ayers is a well-known radical who should never have been invited to the University of Nebraska.”
Good...people need to be aware of Bill Ayers and others like him. They did not go away....they are now in roles of authority influencing our youth. Ironic, isn't it - that they are now symbols of "the establishment" that they fought so hard to destroy in the 60's.

Some kids grow up and use their education, others are still waiting for that winning lottery ticket and making threating phone calls.

Forgive my ignorance...but who is he? Why do they call him a terrorist?
I was born in the 80's and have never heard of him.
