DTOW: a heartwarming tale
Wow, this week's Dogger Teacher of the Week is a tear jerker

Quote:ORANGE, N.J. – Cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal has a group of well-wishers in Ms. Zuniga’s third grade class.

Abu-Jamal, convicted in 1981 for killing of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner, is reportedly in ill health and at the SCI Mahanoy infirmary in Pennsylvania, according to the San Francisco Bay View.

“Last Thursday, Mumia tried to go to the bathroom in the infirmary. Because he was so weak, he was not able to sustain himself on his feet. He slid down to the floor and waited there, helplessly and unable to call for assistance, for 45 minutes until he was found by a doctor and another prisoner,” writes Johanna Fernandez, a professor of history at Baruch College (CUNY).

When Fernandez visited Mumia at the prison, she says she brought with her two batches of letters.
The professor writes:
We shared a touching moment with Mumia in an effort to raise his spirits.
Two teachers delivered letters to us that their students had written to Mumia.
One batch came from a third grade class taught by Ms. Marylin Zuniga in Orange, New Jersey. The other batch was from a group of high school students in the Philadelphia Student Union, which fights for school reform and is led by Mr. Hiram Rivera.
EAGnews contacted Ms. Zuniga – a teacher at Forest Street School in the Orange Public Schools district – to better understand the nature of the letters and she did not respond.

A call to Principal Yancisca Cooke went unreturned, as well.
According to Zuniga’s website, she is a language arts and social studies teacher at the school.


Fernandez says the cop killer appreciated the public school children’s letters.
“It had been a long time since we had seen Mumia smile. He chuckled as he read excerpts from these touching letters,” she writes.

Brainwashing at a young age. Little Obamatons.

It's a mixed up world in Liberal Land. Good is bad. Right is wrong.
