CHICAGO – The progressives in charge of Chicago public radio may be taking their “all things considered” concept a little too far.

In a story that virtually no one was asking for, Chicago Public Media recently did a puff piece – complete with soothing musical interludes – about how domestic terrorist-turned law professor Bernardine Dohrn balanced her radical feminist views with being the mother of two sons.

Dohrn began the interview by admitting she never expected to have children, because she believed remaining childless was the only way to fight against America’s oppressive “patriarchal society.”

“Of course, life came along and kicked me around, and (I) ended up doing a lot of things I said I was never going to do. (Having kids) was one of them,” Dohrn told WBEZ.

When Dohrn and her “partner” – domestic terrorist-turned education professor Bill Ayers – decided to have children, they took steps to ensure their sons would not only respect women, but would “absolutely cleanse themselves of any kind of male supremacy and feeling that men are better than women or girls.”

The couple did this by giving their sons Dohrn’s last name, and through “bigger” steps, such as changing the gender of the characters in the books they read to their sons. They also “saturate(d) their environment with activism, with resistance.”

But saturating their home in left-wing radicalism presented an unexpected problem for the couple. When one son noticed the photos decorating the family’s home were all of deceased activists, such as Malcolm X and Sojourner Truth, he wondered if all of their heroes were dead.

“So we began talking about Rosa Parks,” Dohrn explained. “Rosa Parks was not dead and had changed many things by her courage and her resistance. And so the kids at daycare center (where one of the sons attended) started to line up the little chairs … and somebody would play the driver, somebody would play the cops, somebody would play the bad white people, somebody would play the resisting African Americans.”

Not all of the couple’s attempts at raising proper leftists turned out so well.

Dohrn noted that her youngest son showed an interest in guns, partly by watching his peers on the playground who “had guns and swords and things like that.” It got to the point where the son would chew “his bagel, which he always had in his hand, into the shape of a gun … and was running around the playground with it,” Dohrn recalled with a laugh.

“I think the next step was that somebody gave him squirt guns in the summer, and of course that was the beginning of the end. And then they were the big squirt guns. And then we just decided, we let go of that as an issue,” Dohrn explained.

Looking back, Dohrn said being a parent was “the greatest unanticipated joy in my life.”

“Those years of parenting – delicious.”
