History Professor: Mumia Should Be Celebrated Like Martin Luther King Jr. in Schools
Townhall ^ | 07/30/2014 | Katie Pavlich

Last night on the Kelly File Baruch College History Professor Joanna Fernandez argued that unrepentant convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, who murdered Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981 by shooting him five times in the face, should be celebrated in schools just like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. She also argued using words like "militant" and "convicted cop killer" to describe Mumia, is racist. Another nice nugget? A California teacher's union feels the same way.

If you don't want to listen to Fernandez yell through her re-litigation of the case (as she always does when given the opportunity), you'll find her comparison of MLK to Mumia at 5:04. Also be sure you get to the 6:00 minute mark to hear the Wall Street Journal's Jason Riley's entire response to the asinine comparison.

"Essentially by the end of his life, Martin Luther King like Mumia Abu Jamal, was a radical," she said.

King died a Republican, IIRC.

I don’t get it.

What is the attraction of this guy to the Left?

Also, I think it would be more fitting that every street in America that is named after Martin Luther King be renamed after Baraq Obama. It’s more fitting.

These are the types of people who should not be “educating” others.

Ironic that if you want to find the street that has the most violence in almost any town, find MLK Jr. Blvd.
