Teacher fired for forcing students to write letters to imprisoned cop killer, Mumia Abu-Jamal

Orange County (New Jersey) school board officials voted Wednesday to terminate the employment of a third grade teacher who had her students write "get well" letters to a convicted cop killer. According to NJ.com, Marilyn Zuniga, a third grade teacher at Forest Street Elementary School in Orange, was suspended last month after she had her students write the letters of encouragement to Mumia Abu-Jamal, who is currently serving a life sentence for killing Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981.

Marilyn Zuniga's employment was terminated as part of a larger personnel restructuring agenda. By including Zuniga's termination in a larger personnel agenda plan, the school board did not immediately reveal the firing to Zuniga's supporters who attended the meeting, where her employment was discussed.

Zuniga's support of Abu-Jamal is part of a larger campaign by liberal activists. These left-wing activists (including actor Ed Asner) have been campaigning for Abu-Jamal's release from prison for years, even though the case against him was considered strong. Sometime in early April, Zuniga told her students to write Abu-Jamal "get well" letters after his health deteriorated from diabetes complications. Afterward, Zuniga tweeted "Just dropped off these letters to comrade Johanna Fernandez. My 3rd graders wrote to Mumia to lift up his spirits as he is ill. #freemumia" Zuniga later deactivated her Twitter account.

Johanna Fernandez is a professor at Baruch College in New York City, where she teaches in the Departments of History and of Black and Latino Studies. She is also a member of "Educators for Mumia Abu-Jamal" and "The Campaign to Bring Mumia Home," which both advocate for his innocence. Fernandez posted on her Facebook that she personally delivered the letters Zuniga gave her to Abu-Jamal.

After school officials learned of the assignment through local media, they suspended Zuniga pending an investigation.

Finally, some sense surfaces in this whacked world.

The pretty ones are always the batty ones.

How about “Mumia, eat sh*t and die” letters. Do they count?

People with Sharpie'd eyebrows aren't exactly known for rational decisions.

Dear Mr Mumia,
It is good that you will die in prison. Not Soon Enough for my taste.

"Just dropped off these letters to comrade Johanna Fernandez...."

Comrade? Who speaks this way except communists? Not too subtle, is she?

[Old Sarge]

Yea, verily yea.

[SeekAndFind]

OK, with that brief letter of yours, what grade do you think this teacher will give you?

[rey]

I wouldn’t say we were forced, but when I was in first grade (1967) we wrote letters to another teachers boyfriend or husband who was in Viet Nam...as a service member. We weren’t writing to her boyfriend Ho Chi Minh.

Look up the hot/crazy chart on youtube.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Teachers need to disabuse themselves of all the social justice BS and get down to Western Civilization and Judeo-Christian basics. That way there would be fewer cop killers to begin with.

Cases like this provide the best argument for allowing a massive influx of immigrants from all over the planet -- for the sole purpose of displacing American workers right here in the U.S.

If I hire some dude from India or China, I can be absolutely certain that he wasn't being exposed to this kind of f#%&ing idiocy when he was eight years old.

[Radagast the Fool]

I wonder what qualified job applicant was passed over for that teaching job in favor of this POS!!!!!

[fungoking]

Don't worry she has several interviews lined up:
Bernie Sanders campaign
DU forum administrator
PA Attorney General’s office Social Justice Admin
Assoc. Dean of social Justice at various universities

[manc]

She is no that pretty without the air brushed etc .Infact she hardly looks like that.

[manc]

I did not even know if my teachers were married or their first names. Today teachers talk about themselves and think the world owes them favors.

[OLDCU]

Which one is which?

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Yes and from these stats showing interracial murders it appears multitudinous blacks see that white lives matter.. about like a three-pointer in basketball, or a hole-in-one, homerun . . . .

(Gee I hope the race-grievance industry, the Obama-Holder demagogues and the employees of the MSM don't make multitudinous into a "dog whistle.")

It is long past the time when facts should be made public to expose the lies and misrepresentations of the Obama-Holder demagogues and the race-grievance industry.The Obama-Holder demagogues, the race-grievance industry, and most employees of the MSM have made this a racial issue. So let's see..

So adding up the blacks killed by whites (Col 1) and whites killed by blacks(col 2). Surprise.

col 1		Col 2
189		409
193		431
193		448
218		447
209		454
230		504
245		566
208		573
230		516
228		522
281		699
2424		5569

Whites outnumber blacks by at least six-to-one BTW. Since Obama has been president the score is whites 1002, blacks 2189.
