What Happened To A Teacher Who Told Students That She Would Kill All Blacks If She Had 10 Days To Live
A North Carolina teacher is under investigation for racist remarks she had allegedly made in class. She is a Math teacher, but her equations were all wrong! Cynthia Ramsey from Camden County High School was addressing a student eating lunch in the classroom when she talked about an item on her "bucket list," the student's mother, Kimberly Ashcraft, told WAVY-TV, according to RawStory.
It happened two weeks ago. Cynthia Ramsey said that if she had just 10 days to live, she would kill off the Blacks. Many students nearby overheard her. Kimberly was "completely shocked" at the racist and lunatic remarks, and confirmed from her daughter that the teacher had really made the statement. She could not imagine a "teacher saying such a thing." She told her daughter that it was a "very serious allegation" and she had to confirm that she had really said that.
Cynthia was not only a Math teacher, but also the head of the Math department in the school. When Kimberley reported the incident, school officials began an investigation, and even the Camden County Sheriff's Office was called in to join the investigation. The sheriff told the TV station that other students confirmed all the details. But she was suspended with pay.
However, she returned to her work just two days later, which made Kimberley very disappointed. She said she felt that she should come forward to tell the story and make a complaint, because it was a threat to the African-American students as well as community, according to AATTP.
The Superintendent Melvin Hawkins confirmed that the district was investigating the incident, but he said that all findings would be secret until the case was completely resolved. All the evidence in the case has been given to the district attorney, who will conclude whether the "teacher should face unspecified criminal charges or not." He said that "it is a personnel issue, and is confidential until resolved." He added that they were following protocol and all investigations are "confidential," according to Wavy.com Camden County School officials confirmed that Ramsey's case will be debated by the school board November 13.
