Decision to let cop killer Abu-Jamal give commencement speech 'despicable,' widow say

[Gunny]

A Vermont college's selection of convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal as commencement speaker is a “despicable” decision that should be reversed, his victim's widow told FoxNews.com.


Maureen Faulkner, whose husband Daniel was gunned down by Abu-Jamal in 1981, was shocked to learn of the selection by undergraduate students at tiny Goddard College in Plainfield. Abu-Jamal, who will not attend the event and whose speech will be pre-recorded, received a bachelor of arts degree from the 245-student liberal arts college in 1996 through a correspondence program.

I'm still trying to figure out what on earth these morons on at this college are thinking. Apparently, I can't shut my brain down that far. I honestly can't believe this trash. And I don't even like cops.

NO WAY should this asshat be allowed to speak.

I think the problem is, many college campuses are not about education based on "real" history, any sort of facts, science or engineering ect...it is all about propagating an agenda. I have a problem wrapping my mind around the agenda. It is nonsensical, and those pushing this kind of garbage are pure evil

Oh and that poor woman is being forced to live the nightmare again. Just appalling. College campuses have become a breeding ground for anti American propaganda. They are not being taught, they are being indoctrinated

THAT is what pisses me off most. Her husband actually gave his life in service to this Nation. His service is being disrespected and marginalized by a bunch of leftwingnuts.

That anyone thinks he has the right to speak with no regard for this cop's widow is just flat wrong bullshit.

`Students who attend American colleges and universities should be able to gain a well-rounded view of their country, its founding principles, and the ideas – from all points on the political spectrum – that continue to shape and mold its future. Unfortunately, today’s colleges have drifted away from these ideals and become bastions of liberal thought and activism.....

**Imagine that it is your first year of college. You’re eager to learn, enthusiastic about your new friends, and devoted to your new professor. Everything is moving along beautifully, until one day your beloved professor begins to lecture on a hot button political topic. Much to your horror, you discover that he is taking a position that is very much opposed to your personal beliefs. Furthermore, he is generally labeling everyone who holds your belief as an idiot.....Liberalism is a...well...most know the rest of the story....

In early 2014, President (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_United_States) Barack Obama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama) nominated Debo P. Adegbile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debo_P._Adegbile), a former lawyer for the NAACP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Association_for_the_Advancement_of_Colore d_People) who worked on Abu-Jamal's case, to head the civil rights division of the Justice Department (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Justice_Civil_Rights_D ivision), but the nomination was rejected by the U.S. Senate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate) on a bipartisan basis on the grounds of Adegbile's connection with Mumia.

It makes me physically ill that this cop-killing, racist thug is being given a literal pulpit from which to speak and that this pathetic excuse for a higher learning institution is, by proxy, lending credibility to his bigoted mindset, when in fact the POS was supposed to ride the lightning years ago. :bang3: :puke3:


....What's next, Harvard inviting Charles Manson to speak on race relations and religion?
