Cop-killer loving teacher Marylin Zuniga tried to defend herself last night in front of the Orange, NJ Board of Education.
And since she had nothing to stand on, she played the Race Card.
Zuniga, clutching a written statement in her hands, leaned into a microphone and made her first public remarks about a controversy that has gained international attention.
In her remarks at Tuesday's meeting, Zuniga addressed how she became a teacher, her efforts to help the local community - and the circumstances that led to the "get well" letters to Abu-Jamal.
After feeling disconnected as a teenager, growing up in a predominantly white community, Zuniga said she decided to become a teacher in her senior year of high school.
"Growing up in a predominantly white suburb, attending a majority white school district, my teachers and peers marginalized me as a first generation immigrant, Peruvian-American," Zuniga said.
"The cultural gap between my educators and me caused me to feel disconnected from my school work and learning altogether. It wasn't until my experience in the classroom my senior year of high school that I realized I could be the teacher I never had."
Translation: I had every opportunity to get ahead, but I decided to become a Marxist because white people didn't bow down to my multicultural sensitivities.
Remember when immigrants assimilated? Yeah, me neither.
So, our Ms. Zuniga felt "disconnected," eh? But not in the way that Daniel Faulkner is disconnected from his life. Her disconnect is more metaphorical. And harder to endure, of course. Because, racism.
The poor dear, she had to settle for a second-rate education, too.
Oh, wait, no she didn't.
After graduating with honors from Montclair State University, Zuniga decided to pursue her master's degree at Columbia University before entering the \classroom. "I felt that my future students deserved the best and the only way they would receive that is if I was fully equipped as an educator," she said.
Darn those racist white people! How'd that lowly Peruvian sneak into one of their most esteemed graduate programs? Columbia already graduated that Obama fellow, you'd think that would've satisfied the quota gods. But no, they took in a "disconnected" young lady, laid the world at her feet, and were rewarded for their trouble in the only way a Marxist knows. Anger.
Then she brought her politics into the classroom, the better to indoctrinate her charges into the cult of victimhood. She got caught. And her only regret is that she blabbed about it.
Zuniga apologized for highlighting the letters on social media.
"I was very proud of my students' work and I shared this on social media," Zuniga said. "I do apologize to parents, students and community members for having done that."
OK Comrade!
She's not sorry she brainwashed a room full of eight-year-olds.
She's sorry she got carried away with enthusiasm for her success.
Her "apology" isn't really to the parents and the taxpayers. It's to her fellow travelers, for outing their insidious agenda. She regrets not keeping the whole sordid affair under her hat, at least until she achieved tenure, when of course she'd be free to assign The Communist Manifesto for summer reading.
And get this, she wants a second chance.
"Given my record, I do not believe this one episode justifies my termination. However, if the board has decided to terminate me, then I am prepared to submit my resignation to avoid the consequences to my career that would follow from termination."
Oh, I'd say it's a little too late for avoiding consequences. Not unless Google vanishes from the face of the earth.
As for it being "one episode," well then, I guess the results of her "hands up, don't shoot" assignment have already been fed into a shredder. Which is a pity, because I'd really like to have read the radical slogans she undoubtedly fed to her students.
Marylin Zuniga is but a cog in academia's leftward march. She's hardly unique.
But we need to make an example of her. Show the bastards that we're not going
to take it any more. Prevent her from poisoning any more young minds. Fire her.
Today.
