Top Philadelphia Public School Official Posts Tributes to Fugitive Cop-Killer Assata Shakur
The man in charge of the social studies curriculum for Philadelphia public schools has posted several online tributes to the convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur, even using her photo as his profile picture on social media.
Ismael Jimenez, the director of social studies curriculum for the K-12 School District of Philadelphia, honored Shakur in several posts days after her death in September, but his public support for the woman who was once the FBI’s most-wanted terrorist dates back over a year.
“If we do not take ourselves seriously and we do not take our movement seriously then we’ll have to hang our heads in front of our ancestors,” Jimenez wrote on Facebook on Sept. 28, attributing the statement to Shakur.
Jimenez had also quoted Shakur two days earlier, writing on Sept. 26, “‘Schools in America are interested in brainwashing people with Americanism, giving them a little bit of education, and training them in skills needed to fill the positions the capitalist system requires. As long as we expect America’s schools to educate us, we will remain ignorant.’ – Assata Shakur.”
Jimenez has been the subject of controversy for extremist anti-American statements and for defending Hamas in the wake of the Oct. 7 attacks.
A spokeswoman for the Philadelphia school district didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Shakur, a member of the Marxist-Leninist Black Liberation Army who died on Sept. 25, spent the last four decades of her life hiding out in Cuba after escaping from an American prison in 1979. She had been serving a life sentence for killing New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster.

Whereas if you celebrate a Marxist felon and cop-killer, you will have to hang them in front of your descendants.
“As long as we expect America’s schools to educate us, we will remain ignorant.’ ”
Blind pigs and acorns, comes to mind. Not defending her crimes at all, so please don’t think I am.
Anyone who publicly supports Hamas, or any other terrorist group, should not be employed in a public school system.
To hell with Asshata Shakur! Name sounds like some damned pole dancer!
