Teacher has 3rd-graders write 'get-well' cards to Pa. cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal: ........................................................................................................................................... New Jersey teacher's assignment to have her third-graders pen get well cards to ailing Pa. cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal is raising hackles in Philly, where the officer was murdered in 1981. UPDATE: Teacher suspended for having class send get well notes to cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal Philly.com reports that the teacher, Marylin Zuniga, of Forest Street School in Orange, NJ, tweeted Sunday about her pride in the assignment: "My 3rd graders wrote to Mumia to lift up his spirits as he is ill. #freemumia." The cards were then delivered to Mumia by Johanna Fernandez, a professor of History at Baruch College in New York, who wrote on her Facebook page that she took a trip to State Correctional Institution at Mahanoy to visit the ailing inmate, Philly.com reported, adding: "It had been a long time since we had seen Mumia smile," Fernandez wrote on Facebook. "He chuckled as he read excerpts from these touching letters." Mumia, 60, was hospitalized in late March for complications stemming from diabetes. He is a former Black Panther serving life in prison for the 1981 murder of white Philadelphia police Officer Daniel Faulkner. Prior to that, he had been on death row.
