A group of nine former Atlanta public school educators were convicted April 10 for participating in a massive cheating scandal to inflate student scores on standardized tests. According to the Associated Press, a state investigation found that as far back as 2005, educators from the school system fed answers to students and changed answers on tests that were submitted. The sentences ranged from one year to seven years in prison. After the news of the sentencing broke, Facebook users flooded the AFRO’s page to voice their disdain.
Ron Brown – Unbelievable! teacher can have sex with students and walk away on probation. The judicial system is very flawed.
Rochelle Ates – Meanwhile in Mississippi, White girls are getting 5-7 years for the lynch mob slaying of a Black man…and nothing at all for the other victims they hunted down and beat on that they admitted to.
Brittany Danielle – The system was NEVER and NEVER will be built with OUR interests at heart. The system was never built for us. Sad but true.
Russell Sprinkle – Until we unite as a whole; Church, mosques, Greek organizations and community, then we can bring awareness to the unfair judicial process in America. That judge is an elected official. Hint! Get our peoples registered NOW!
Sherry Tuston – White folks do this everyday all day and have been since the beginning of time how do you think their kids make it over—Surely it’s not because “all” their kids are smarter than our kids. When given the same opportunities our kids overshadow them 100% if not more.
Stacy Harbin – But u can rape and get pregnant by a student and live happily ever after smdh… Michael Darden – Atlanta please use your vote!!!!!
Linda Lane – Their sentence is as ridiculous as their crime. Where are the protestors now? Not all crimes against Blacks are violent. WHERE ARE THE PROTESTERS???
