Radical-turned-educator William Ayers will not be speaking at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus next month. Ayers, a 1960s activist who now teaches at the University of Illinois, was scheduled to talk during a campus event. University officials said in a news release this evening that "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."

(This is good news. I don't buy the safety concerns reason but lets not worry about the reason and just rejoice that the state of Nebraska did the right thing while making a wrong a right.)
