Bernardine Dohrn watch


I was listening to the encore performance of Chicago NPR station's broadcast of morning program, 848, just now.

Bernardine Dohrn, former Weather Underground terrorist, was being interviewed by the show's host, and she discussed tonight's re-enactment of a landmark 1967 juvenile rights case, in re Gault.

That's Dorhn in the above photo.

At no time during the segment was Dohrn's terrorist past discussed, nor was it mentioned that although she does not have a law licence--the state of New York denied that to her because of her well-documented misbehavior--she's still a law professor at Northwestern University. In fact, she's the director of NU's Children and Family Justice Center.

But she's "for the kids."

Dohrn, along with her husband Bill Ayers, another former Weather Underground terrorist, were profiled in David Horowitz' most recent book, The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America.

Ayers is a professor of education at the University of Illinois-Chicago. He's "for the kids, too."
