I think she could have found a less controversial person to write letters too...A suspended New Jersey teacher has been fired for assigning her third-grade students to write get-well letters to convicted police killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.
First-year Forest Street Elementary School teacher Marylin Zuniga, in Orange, N.J., was booted by the school board early Wednesday, Superintendent Ronald Lee told NJ.com Wednesday, without elaboration.
Her lawyer, Alan Levine, lashed out at the firing, saying school officials had "abdicated their responsibility to the community and to the children of the school district," and lamenting the loss of "a teacher that everybody agreed was a remarkable teacher."
