Teacher suspended after her 3rd-graders send 'get well' wishes to cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal

ORANGE, N.J. – A teacher in New Jersey who assigned her third-grade class to write "get well" letters to a sick inmate convicted of killing a Philadelphia police officer was suspended Friday, the school superintendent said.

Orange School Superintendent Ronald Lee said in a statement that school administrators "vehemently deny" any knowledge of Marilyn Zuniga's assignment. Preliminary inquiries found that Zuniga did not seek approval from administrators nor were parents notified, Lee said.

The letters were delivered to Mumia Abu-Jamal in prison following his hospitalization last month for what his family said was treatment for complications from diabetes. The former Black Panther is serving life behind bars for the 1981 murder of white Philadelphia police Officer Daniel Faulkner. His conviction was upheld through years of appeals, but he has gained international support for his claim that he is the victim of a racist justice system.

For giving aid and comfort to a member of a terrorist group, she must be put to death. Any other outcome would send Black Panthers and other terrorists a message that we’re too weak and conciliatory.

We can expect Soetoro to invite this stoner harlot to the White Hut as a reward for her actions, though whether or not he is bold/stupid enough to do so in the public eye remains to be seen.

What passes for a brain in this dimwit? And what could she possibly have been “thinking”? She is clearly a brainwashed libtard. It is criminal that she was attempting to use her position as a teacher to create more libtards. She should be suspended without pay for several months. Maybe that will cool her jets and induce her to think before inflicting her libtard political views on innocent kids.

Yes, no doubt.

We've got a major hospital in Pasadena that is voting to join or remain outside of a union around the 15th of April.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. This is one of the most beautiful hospitals in Southern California.

Teacher Who Had Third Graders Write Get-Well Cards To Cop Killer Mumia Abu-Jamal BLAMES LITTLE KIDS

Taxpayer-funded Orange, N.J. school teacher Marilyn Zuniga has now announced that she is really sorry that her third-grade students wrote get-well letters to cop killer and one-time death row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Zuniga is also blaming eight- and nine-year-old children for coming up with the idea to write the letters to the convicted murderer.

“On February 5th I presented a do-now that stated: ‘What is the main idea of this quote: ‘So long as one just person is silenced, there is no justice,’” Zuniga explained in a statement to the local school board obtained by Philadelphia Magazine. “This quote is by Mumia Abu-Jamal.”

“In April, I mentioned to my students that Mumia was very ill and they told me they would like to write ‘get well’ letters to Mumia,” the Forest Street Elementary School teacher who refers to Abu-Jamal on a first-name basis also wrote.

“I was very proud of my students work and I shared this on social media. I do apologize to parents, students and community members for having done that. My parents, co-workers, and students have always been aware of how much I care for my students and their families and for the entire Orange community.”
