Lesson has schoolkids comparing Martin Luther King to cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal
Lesson has schoolkids comparing Martin Luther King to cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal | Fox News
It gets worse as it goes on. The man is a convicted cop killer, what else are you to refer to him as? Why are they comparing this man to Martin Luther King? WTF?
A lesson plan asking students to draw parallels between late civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal is an absolute disgrace, the widow of the fallen officer told FoxNews.com.
The lesson plan, which was authored by teacher Craig Gordon for 11th-graders within the 37,000-student district, suggests to critically examine a possible parallel between King and someone else many believe is currently targeted by the U.S. government, Mumia Abu-Jamal.
The media, prison system and law enforcement organizations have censored Mumia Abu-Jamal. On one hand, there have been occasional stories in print and broadcast media about Mumia Abu-Jamal. On the other, despite the widespread support for Abu-Jamal that has made his case the most renown and controversial of death penalty cases in the world today, these stories are extremely rare and always refer to him as a convicted cop-killer.
