Illinois Republican Calls For Ayers Removal

I've been on a bit of a work-related haitus (and campaign/transition fatigue) and haven't posted in a month, but I hope to again begin posting with some regularity.

To ease my way back into regular blogging, I thought I'd point out that an Illinios State Senator is pursuing legislation that would have unrepetant terrorist Bill Ayers removed from his post at the University of Chicago?

State Sen. Larry Bomke, a Springfield-area Republican, wants Ayers removed from his university post under a proposal that says anyone who has committed an act of violence against the governments of the United States or Illinois cannot work at a public university.

UIC To Open Annenberg Challenge Archives

On the day when Barack Obama selected Deleware Senator Joe Biden as his veep-mate, the Chicago Tribune reports that the University of Illinois at Chicago has reversed it's position and will open it's archives and make available documents associated with Obama's involvement with the Annenberg Challenge.  The Annenberg Challege is the organization established by the radical William Ayers, who named Obama as Executive Director.

This could prove to be very bad news for Senator Obama, as it will keep the story of the Ayers-Obama connection moving forward as the Democrats begin their convention in Denver.
