Two candidates for governor had teacher certificates suspended — for misconduct with female students

According to state records, two candidates for governor — one Republican and one Democrat, both trained as high school educators — have had their teaching certificates suspended for misconduct involving female students.

Summaries of both cases, handled by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission, are available for public inspection, courtesy of the state’s Open Records Act.

Ray McBerry, a Republican champion of states’ rights and a former history teacher, had his certificate suspended for one week in 2004 following allegations from the Henry County school system that he had “maintained an inappropriate relationship with a student and that he deliberately misrepresented the facts of the case in his first response to the school system’s investigation,” a case summary states.

If he is fooling around with students, it should be permanently revoked!!
