Apparently, the public school system in America thinks blatant racism is A-OK. Cynthia Ramsey, a math teacher at Camden County High School, in North Carolina, reportedly told her students a few weeks ago that one item on her bucket list is "to kill all black people." Yep, you read that right. And, the kicker: She got to keep her job. Local TV station WAVY spoke to Kimberley Ashcraft, the mother of one of Ramsey's students, who recited the teacher's shocking comments: "She conveyed to me that Mrs. Ramsey had indicated that if she only had 10 days to live that she would kill all black people." |
Just sayin...
An investigation being done. And an assumption that the investigation will be dropped after the media attention is gone?
Could it be that the media attention will be gone after investigation finds something other than what is accused?
Not much to go on one way or the other with the link supplied.
I'll wait for the sequel till I form an opinion.
Just sayin...
You never met a bigoted union member?
You haven't been in the union business long, have you?

If she isn't, it's pure politics.
Both sides of the coin.

That wasn't my point and you know it.
ie: If teachers were unionized this wouldn't happen?
What else could one surmise from your statement?
Union representation would have squashed the accusations?
The union would indict the kids instead?
What was your point?

You know what my point was, but to clarify, just in case your being anything less than obtuse, is that no one can blame any collective bargaining agreement, or union, or teacher tenure law for the fact that this teacher has not be terminated for what she said, assuming she actually said it.
Unless your a complete idiot you know that this is what I was alluding to.
Not that I'm condoning this teachers actions in the slightest. She's an imbecile and a racist, but if the shoe was on the other foot...
Nobody but you, the first response on the discussion, threw the union, non union question into the mix. I highly doubt that thought crossed anybody elses mind on this board.
Most think it's a shame if true. Shame if false. More than likely, it's Halloween trick from the way the article is written.
The text on the cover is:
Sorry for the bad picture. The only other one I found was about 40x as big.
And an article about the controversy, linked. Also this week. And the Weekly Standard, hard right, has an article entitled:
Other than that, practically no one, I guess.

If there is strong evidence that she uttered that slur, she will be suspended without pay, until a thorough investigation shows beyond a reasonable doubt that the accusation is true. At that time she will let go
You can t shoot from the hip in these situations, like so many, especially the media are inclined to do.

I doubt very highly if "beyond a reasonable doubt" is the standard of proof that is applied in this investigation.
That being said, I agree with the rest of your statement

Whether it was a white or black teacher making this comment, it is still wrong! For me anyone making this comment must be held accountable especially as crazy as folks are today. These situations can no longer be taken lightly. Too many lives have been cut short because some nut job feels a certain way and decides to take lives.
What I find interesting though is the fact that when ever race makes the headlines people get all up in arms about it as if race doesnt matter anymore.

Delete yourself, idiot.
“She conveyed to me that Mrs. Ramsey had indicated that if she only had 10 days to live that she would kill all black people,” mother Kimberly Ashcraft told WAVY-TV. Ashcraft said other students were nearby when Ramsey made the comment.
