That reserve officer who killed the suspect in Tulsa will serve less time than these cheaters.

We have returned to the way justice was meted out in the middle ages. The peasants were flogged or hanged and the nobles could do anything they pleased.

“Hall said she was innocent. Suffering from cancer, she died before she could stand trial.”

Death is no barrier to a Democrat voting, as is widely known.

Therefore, I respectfully suggest Satan be called and told to put Hall on trial. This should be easy, as it is also widely known that Satan has an abundant supply of lawyers and crooked judges.

Some harsh sentences for some of them. It does send a message though to those who want to game the system for profit or fame might end up not getting the kind of fame they seek.

I want to see the faces of these corrupt educators.

Sentence should also require that they provide or pay for remedial teaching to all the students that they cheated out of education.

Hall was school superintendent of the Newark, NJ, school system.

When she left, millions of dollars were missing.
