The majority of the nation doesn’t know that investigators have turned up a hatched-scheme in which Union bosses coordinated efforts with public education officials. Further that 44 of 56 school districts in the Atlanta Public Schools system strategically convinced Superintendents, Principals and teachers to cheat–primarily by going back and erasing answers on tests and replacing them with correct ones–in order to have a higher means score for the No Child Left Behind funding qualifications.

The evidence is overwhelming.

2100 Interviews… 178 educators involved… 38 principals involved… 80 confessions to the schemes… 800,000 documents as evidence…

the principals have no principles.

...they don’t teach them because they don’t have any.

HOW MANY OTHER CITIES haven’t been caught yet. Or have destroyed all evidence already.

One must look for a national directive from the NEA on this Atlanta incident. I will bet that many others did it too, just didn’t get caught — yet.

What is surprising is that they knew the correct answers.

This was a conspiracy to defraud every single taxpayer in the country. They need to be hit hard by RICO, pay massive fines (at least the amount of salary and benefits they claimed while committing this fraud), and be imprisoned until the jail rots.

ROTFL! I wonder what percentage of public school teachers could pass those standardized tests (wthout cheating, that is).

Won’t happen. They are elite members of the protected class here in the Atlanta area.

Of course we all know that with the contracts the unions have put in place, it will be impossible to even fire any of them.

Nah, they read the answers from the correct answer sheet.

What’s surprising is that they could read enough to understand how to use the answer books to cheat.

“What is surprising is that they knew the correct answers.”

That is funny, but sadly is a false statement.

But we all know that's not going to happen. Nothing is going to happen to anyone down there. Considering the demographic makeup of the Atlanta School District holding the principles, teachers, or the "students" accountable would be racist. Most public schools nowadays are nothing but Communist indoctrination, welfare, and daycare centers. Close them all.
