The Left-infected academia demonstrates yet again its moral degeneracy.

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.

“It’s not appropriate,” Faulkner said. “His freedom was taken away when he murdered a police officer in the line of duty. It seems like our justice system allows murderers to continue to have a voice over the public airwaves and at college commencement. It’s despicable.” […]

Sunday’s event will mark the third time Abu-Jamal, 60, has given commencement speeches at colleges, including at Evergreen State College in Washington and Antioch College in Ohio. Both of those events prompted widespread protests on behalf of law enforcement officers and Faulkner’s relatives.

“How can this go in our country? It’s amazing,” Maureen Faulkner continued. “People need to start realizing that there’s right and wrong in this world. It seems like no one thinks about that.”

Right and wrong? Right and wrong?

Dear lady, how utterly gauche, privileged, typical-white-person is such offensive sentimentality. What do you think this is, the 1950s?

Shut up. Or else.

Meanwhile, we have other undesirables to silence.
