San Francisco State University President Lynn Mahoney is defending the school’s decision to invite terrorist hijacker Leila Khaled to speak at a virtual event on September 23. Khaled is best known for hijacking a plane on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a U.S. designated terrorist organization, in 1969.

  On a flight from Rome to Tel Aviv, Khaled and a fellow PFLP member revealed they had a hand grenade and pistol and made their way to the cockpit to announce, “This is the Palestinian movement taking over your airplane.” They, then, instructed the pilots to redirect the flight to Damascus and fly over Palestine to “put the suffering of her people on the world’s stage,” according to an interview with Vice.

Convicted leftist terrorist Susan Rosenberg must be counted among the unlikeliest candidates ever to be awarded a university teaching post. Just four years ago Rosenberg was serving out the 16th year of a 58-year sentence for the possession of more than 700 pounds of explosives and a stockpile of illicit weapons. Moreover, the onetime member of a leftist terrorist outfit called “The Family” was also a suspect in a 1981 robbery-gone-awry that left three people dead in Nyack, New York. However, next January students at Hamilton College, a small liberal arts school in upstate New York, will know Susan Rosenberg, not as a terrorist, but as a professor. ... Upon her arrest in 1984, for instance, a New York Times report quoted an unrepentant Rosenberg, who exclaimed, “We’re caught, but we’re not defeated. Long live the armed struggle!” -Jacob Laksin

Because I, as well as my Mother, and my Brother, and my Sister can tell you that still after 31 years has passed, there is not a day that goes by that we don't miss him, that we don't think of him, that we don't wish that he could be back here with us. He never got to meet my wife or dance at my wedding. Instead, on our wedding day, I along with my bride, visited his grave. He never got to kiss his wife, the love of his life, goodbye. He never got the opportunity to hold his grandchildren. There are so many things that we never got to share with him and never will. On that fateful day our entire worlds were taken from us by Kathy Boudin and the other members of the Weather Underground. -Jesse Watters

  "I no longer wish to be associated with University of Illinois," Hill wrote to in a letter to UI, following the board’s decision. "The Academy at the University of Illinois has clearly lost its moral compass."
