Teacher Has 3rd Graders Write Get Well Letters To Unrepentant Cop Killer

Unrepentant Cop Killer  Mumia Abu-Jamal

Your tax dollars at work!

A New Jersey school teacher had her class of 3rd graders write get well cards to Mumia Abu-Jamal, a Black Panther who murdered a police officer in cold blood in 1981. He was found guilty and sentenced to death. After numerous appeals, his conviction was upheld, but the death sentence was not. He was removed from death row in 2012. Abu-Jamal was recently taken to the hospital due to complications from diabetes.

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.

The letters were delivered by Johanna Fernandez, a professor of history at Baruch College, according to Education Action Group News.

‘We shared a touching moment with Mumia in an effort to raise his spirits,’ Fernandez reported.

‘Two teachers delivered letters to us that their students had written to Mumia.’

‘It had been a long time since we had seen Mumia smile.

‘He chuckled as he read excerpts from these touching letters.’

The letters themselves or what they said were not released.

However the fact they were written and then sent has infuriated many.

Richard Costello, political coordinator for the Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police, said the letters set a dangerous example.

‘I think its both alarming and outrageous that any teacher would use a group of innocent seven-year-olds to promote a twisted agenda glorifying murder, glorifying hatred and glorifying violence,’ Costello told Fox News.

‘He shot (the officer) in the back and then as the officer lay slumped against a wall helpless he leaned over and shot him between the eyes.

‘When he was in the hospital he actually bragged about it.’
