Marquette University just took a stand against the radical black movement, here in America

Wa/Post:   Assata Shakur is a cop killer (1976) and terrorist, or a wrongly accused folk hero, depending on whom you ask. So her name and likeness tend to ignite controversy, particularly on college campuses.

The latest one flared up at Marquette University’s Gender and Sexuality Resource Center, which displayed a mural of Shakur, also known as Joanne Deborah Chesimard. A university critic blogged about the indoor mural on Saturday, prompting an outcry.

Note from Editor - the blog was not written by an university critic.  Just the opposite is true. Here is part of what he (Dr. John McAdams, an associate professor of political science at Marquette) wrote to his blog,  a statement that led to mural's rejection:   
“Just what kind of people would blame Marquette, and refuse to come to Marquette, because Marquette would not allow a cop killer mural on campus? Apparently the sort of people that Franzoi would want to have at Marquette.  But not everybody thinks what Marquette needs more of the sort of leftists who think killing cops is acceptable. That is if a black kills a white cop. A white killing a black cop is something the leftists would really dislike.” ~end of note

By Sunday night, the mural was gone.

“Our university’s senior leadership just became aware of a mural that was created and displayed in a remote area of campus,” Marquette officials said in a statement Sunday. “This is extremely disappointing as the mural does not reflect the Guiding Values of Marquette University. It is being removed immediately. We are reviewing the circumstances surrounding the mural and will take appropriate action.”

Shakur, a Black Panther and Black Liberation Army leader, escaped prison after her conviction in the 1973 death of a New Jersey state trooper. She fled to Cuba and in 2013 became the first woman on the FBI’s list of most wanted terrorists.

“Joanne Chesimard is a domestic terrorist who murdered a law enforcement officer execution-style,” FBI special agent Aaron Ford said at the time.

Her supporters have called into question her role in the incident, saying authorities had been targeting her for some time; they insist she was wrongly convicted of murder.
 
Marquette’s Gender and Sexuality Resource Center posted Facebook photos of the mural in March, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported. 

The indoor mural featured a silhouette of Shakur along with two quotes from the polarizing fugitive.

“No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them,” one read. “Nobody is going to teach you your true history, teach you your true heroes, if they know that that knowledge will help set you free.”

The second quote read: 

“Before going back to college, I knew I didn’t want to be an intellectual, spending my life in books and libraries without knowing what the hell is going on in the streets. Theory without practice is just as incomplete as practice without theory. The two have to go together.”
