Zohran Mamdani sparks outrage by tapping radical who praised notorious cop-killer Assata Shakur for education transition team
NY Post ^ | 12/06/25 | David Spector, Tina Moore

Socialist Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani tapped a radical who idolizes cop-killer Assata Shakur to advise his administration on public schools, The Post has learned.

Zakiyah Shaakir-Ansari — the co-executive director for the Alliance for Quality Education, a far-left activist group once fronted by “Sex and the City” star Cynthia Nixon — was selected last week for Mamdani’s transition committee for youth and education.

In an interview with the website Lingua Franca, Shaakir-Ansari was asked if she could spend an afternoon with any woman past or present, who would it be, and what question would she ask her.

The activist and mother of eight responded with the convicted cop killer.

“Assata Shakur — I believe she has so much to offer. With all of the reflection you must have done after all of the years as a Black Panther, what advice do you have for black women to move the movement while also caring for each other?” she said.

Shakur, born Joanne Deborah Chesimard, was convicted in the cowardly murder of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster on May 2, 1973.

She was riding with comrades Zayd Malik Shakur and Sundiata Acoli when they were pulled over on the New Jersey Turnpike by state trooper James Harper for a busted taillight. Foerster, who was providing backup, was shot and killed in the ensuing gunfight.

“The activist and mother of eight...”???????

How can this slime of a human being find the time to be a so-called activist and raise 8 kids? Oh, I forgot, she probably had her first child in Junior High School.

Why are people outraged? These are the things and events to come for the lost city of New York.

The Marxist Left always seeks to control education.

Muslims learned the value of useful idiots from Marxists. And being both a Muslim and a Marxist, Mamdani is going to play the useful idiots on the left like a Stradivarius.

He is in cahoots with BO. He did the same thing, knowing it pissed off Americans and there wasn’t a thing we could do about it.

They voted for him, and now they are outraged at his decisions. They were warned.

Right. My grand parents were driven out of a country their people had called home from before the birth of Christ. Hundreds of thousands were murdered outright if they wouldn't give ground. My grandmother spat on the ground at the mention of the word 'muslim'.

What you see these blood thirsty muslims doing now isn't anything new.

People WERE adequately warned about Mamdani, but there are always those who just don’t listen. This time I guess we underestimated the number who would not listen. Now the whole of NYC (and likely many nore) have to pay for others stupidity.
