The question to ask today is whether or not domestic terrorist William Ayer’s radical ideologies play a role in Barack Hussein Obama’s revolutionary 2007 education legislation.

“This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood…He’s not somebody who I exchange ideas with on a regular basis.”

Obama’s education bill, S.2111, significantly redesigns and amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to allow, in part, for “State…local educational agencies, and schools to increase implementation of early intervention services, particularly school-wide positive behavior supports.”
 
According to Section 3, “the term `positive behavior support’ means a systematic approach to embed proven practices for early intervening services, including a range of systemic and individualized strategies to reinforce desired behaviors and eliminate reinforcement for problem behaviors, in order to achieve important social outcomes (emphasis added)…”
 
Section 5 called: “Teacher and Principal Preparation to Improve School Climate,” mandates a new requirement for teachers and principals. It’s described as “an understanding of social or emotional, or both, learning in children…such as positive behavior support.”  Obama’s bill also provides for “instructional leadership skills to help teachers” satisfy this requirement.
 
In Section 8 Obama’s bill creates what’s called the “Office of Specialized Instructional Support Services” which shall “administer, coordinate, implement, and ensure adequate evaluation of the effectiveness of programs …” via a new “Director” who provides “continuous training and professional development opportunities for specialized instructional support personnel” comprised of “school counselors…social workers…psychologists, and others…” These “instructional support personnel” provide “assessment, diagnosis, counseling, educational, therapeutic, and other necessary corrective or supportive services…” for students.

If passed into law funding to implement Obama’s bill will be extracted–without restrictions from Title I funds currently budgeted in the President’s 2009 budget at US$14.3 billion according to the Office of Management and Budget. Obama’s bill “re-designates” funds to allow State educational agencies to “allocate funds to develop and implement coordinated, early intervening services (including school-wide positive behavior supports) for all students, including those who have not been identified as needing special education but who need additional academic and behavioral support to succeed…”

Obama’s bill doesn’t specify which “proven practices” will be “embedded” in students to achieve the “desired behaviors” or “important social outcomes” his legislation mandates; but if one ascribes to Obama’s education co-chair at CAC, Bill Ayers’ interpretation of positive behavior there is reason for concern. Ayers began his career in education during his Weather Underground days where he served as the “Educational Secretary.”

Declassified FBI reports documenting Ayers and the Weather Underground Organization (WUO) might shed light on what “positive behavior” students will learn if Ayers’ influence on Obama persists. Moreover this FBI summary reveals a connection between Ayer’s WUO to the Black Liberation movement, a theology which Obama’s former “God damn America” 20-year pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright adheres to.

Dated August 20, 1976, the FBI summary states:

“The WUO investigation is an excellent example of the native born American who adopts the faith of an alien ideology…the purposes of which to serve …his revolutionary obligations to the international communist movement and…create the conditions for revolution in the mother country.”
 
“The goal” of the WUO “is the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism… and “struggles within the US will be a vital part of this process…”

“The point of the revolutionary youth movement strategy is to move from a predominant student elite base to more oppressed (less privileged) working-class youth as a way of deepening and expanding the revolutionary youth movement… This is part of the strategy to reach the entire working class to engage in struggle against imperialism…it is both important and possible to reach young people wherever they are–not only in the shops, but also in the schools …to recruit them to fight… A good program mobilizes and teaches…”

In May 1974, WUO published “Prairie Fire” which “is self-described as the ‘Political statement of the Weather Underground.”

In a May 9, 1974 letter bearing the names Bill Ayers, his wife, fellow terrorist, Benardine Dohrn and Jeff Jones, reveals an alliance to Rev. Wright’s theology—the Black liberation movement:
 
“We made the choice to become a guerrilla organization…when the Vietnamese were fighting a heroic people’s war, defeating…the most technologically advanced military power…At home, the struggle and insurrection of the Black liberation movement heightened our commitment to fight alongside the determined enemies of the empire…This defined our international responsibility and our duty as white revolutionaries inside the oppressor nation… We are part of a wave of revolution sparked by the Black liberation struggle… every movement must learn to fight correctly, sometimes retreating, sometimes advancing. But fighting the enemy must be its reason for being. …The way America will aid the victory of the people of the world is…by helping to create a front in support of black and brown liberation here, and by tearing up in the gut of the monster. Destroying the bureaucracy, the pig army, showing initially that the US not only can’t hold together an empire but can’t even hold together white people.”

Before election-day, Americans should ask the serious and legitimate question of what precisely Obama’s “positive behavior” legislation systematically “embeds”.
