Teacher Suspended for Having 3rd-Graders Write 'Get Well' Letters to Cop Killer

A New Jersey teacher has been suspended after she had her third-grade students write “get well” letters to convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Abu-Jamal, who was convicted in the 1981 shooting death of Philadelphia officer Daniel Faulkner, recently fell ill while in prison.

Orange Public Schools officials “vehemently deny” that they knew Marylin Zuniga asked her students to write these letters.

Very poor choice. I agree with love the person/ condemn the crime and poor choices.

In this case, there were one hundred thousand better choices of someone for the kids to write to.

Me, for example.

Fire her immediately.

Just as incomprehensible and reprehensible as that liberal college that asked him to write their "commencement address".

She should never be allowed around impressionable young people ever again because of her views of life.

Third graders write 'Get Well Soon' cards for cop killer Mumia

A group of eight-year-old children in New Jersey have written letters to convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, wishing that he will 'get better soon' while recovering in hospital from a mystery illness after being encouraged by their teacher.

The cards have caused outrage and alarm among political commentators, many of whom claim the 60-year-old's illness is a fraud and clamor for attention.

Abu-Jamal, who shot Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in cold blood in 1981, was taken to hospital on April 2 after collapsing in the bathroom of the State Correctional Institution at Mahanoy.

But this week he was delivered two batches of letters - one from a third grade class in Orange, New Jersey and another from high school students in the Philadelphia Student Union.

I guess its no freedom of speech when it comes to things you don't like. I for one never believed he was guilty.the way this country trump up charges against people they don't like.

8:45 The evidence against him was overwhelming, and the forensics backed up the witnesses' statements. He is known to be fond of boasting about the murder to other likeminded lowlifes.

Trumped up charges? Hardly. No need for it, as many crimes his ilk commit day in and day out.
