Protest Bill Ayers Speaking At UConn
IMPORTANT: THE DATE OF THE EVENT IS THURSDAY, APRIL 23. PROTESTING BEGINS AT 2:30.
On April 23rd from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Bill Ayers will be speaking at the University of Connecticut in Torrey Life Science, room 154. This event is being sponsored by the Human Rights Institute, Idealist United, ConnPIRG, and funded by your student fees, donations, and CT tax payers!
Bill Ayers was the founder of the Weather Underground- a radical left wing organization that advocated destructive behavior and bombings. During the 1960s and 70s he initiated destructive behavior in order to protest the Vietnam War. He bombed the New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, The United States Capital in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972.
As recently as 2001, he was quoted by a NY Times reporter as saying he wished he had done more. A person like this should not be speaking at the University of Connecticut during Human Rights Awareness Week. This is ironic at best and we must send a clear message to the administration and CT that UConn does not accept the views of Bill Ayers. Stand up, make your voice heard, and protest beginning at 2:30 p.m. outside of Torrey Life Sciences building (across from the north campus residence halls on North Eagleville Road). This will be a peaceful protest and there will be no heckling of the speaker as he delivers his speak. We will conduct ourselves with civility and respect. As Americans we will show true patriotism by saying no to domestic terrorism and yes to Ammmerrrica!
