Teacher suspended for alleged racist remarks


Ashcraft told 10 On Your Side the disturbing incident happened a couple weeks ago. Her daughter told her about the conversation with math teacher Cynthia Ramsey.

“That’s when 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,”

*****

Ramsey was placed on suspension with pay, and after a couple days was back in the classroom.


=====================


give her a few days paid vacation, that'll teach her

Fortunately, people like that never seem to think through the logistics of such things, which is why, as terrible as mass shootings or random bombings are, they in the end kill surprisingly few people.

The other thing that is breath taking is that people like the teacher feel quite free to make such terrible statements.

where it's wise to wait until the whole story is out before passing judgement.

It's not that this can't happen but lots of times it never did.

That would be statistically impossible? And that she's a racist asshole?
