Atlanta Public Schools: Biggest Cheating Scandal In U.S. History
Widespread cheating throughout the majority-black school system (79% Black and 12% white, and 80% of the students are eligible for free lunches) by teachers, administrators, principles, and superintendents to change test answers on state-wide standardized tests to ensure that the black kids in their schools got grades they didn’t earn or deserve. Which meant that those involved in the cheating were rewarded, too.
Drudge is reporting that teachers actually held cheating “parties,” where they would sip wine and giggle while wearing out their erasers changing black students’ answers on tests.
Very little news coverage of this story in the MSM. Why? Well, because it goes against their narrative of painting a negative picture of blacks behaving badly. Thankfully, some journalist like Paul Kersey at SBLDL is all over it (if you visit his site, hit his tip jar if you can, as his honest reporting has caused him some personal and professional set backs).
You can also get a bunch more background info here from Volume 1, 2 and 3 of the cheating summary courtesy of the Atlanta Journal Constitution:
Award-winning gains by Atlanta students were based on widespread cheating by 178 named teachers and principals, said Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal on Tuesday. His office released a report from the Georgia Bureau of InvestigationUS history. that names 178 teachers and principals – 82 of whom confessed – in what’s likely the biggest cheating scandal in
This appears to be the largest of dozens of major cheating scandals, unearthed across the country. The allegations point an ongoing problem for US education, which has developed an ever-increasing dependence on standardized tests.
The report on the Atlanta Public Schools, released Tuesday, indicates a “widespread” conspiracy by teachers, principals and administrators to fix answers on the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT), punish whistle-blowers, and hide improprieties.
It “confirms our worst fears,” says Mayor Kasim Reed. “There is no doubt that systemic cheating occurred on a widespread basis in the school system.” The news is “absolutely devastating,” said Brenda Muhammad, chairwoman of the Atlanta school board. “It’s our children. You just don’t cheat children.”
On its face, the investigation tarnishes the 12-year tenure of Superintendent Beverly Hall, who was named US Superintendent of the Year in 2009 largely because of the school system’s reported gains – especially in inner-city schools. She has not been directly implicated, but investigators said she likely knew, or should have known, what was going on. In her farewell address to teachers in June, Hall for the first time acknowledged wrongdoing in the district, but blamed other administrators.
And in case you think the problem of actually teaching these kids to read, write, and do arithmetic is a matter of throwing more money at the teachers and school districts, well…1) you are likely a Liberal, as this is always your answer, and 2) the per-pupil expenditures for APS students is $12,090, which is is 30 percent more than most other counties in Georgia spend.
Is it any wonder why black leaders decided to hold their own “black-only” spelling-bee? It seems that at every level black leaders and teachers have admitted that black kids cannot compete with white, Asian, or Hispanic children in academics. Well, at least not without cheating.

its not surprising that blacks would cheat for other blacks,as for the msm…its just the jews trying to cover up their failed attempts to make the blacks look educated when it can’t be done !
That’s why many so called “African” inventions are just copied off of white people. They only came up with the recipe of peanut butter and the rest is ours!
You’re wrong about peanut butter. A White Canadian named Marcellus Edson got a US patent for peanut butter in the 1880′s and Dr. Kellog of corn flakes fame got a patent for a different manufacturing process in the 1890′s. George Washington Carver “discovered” peanut butter after 1900.
Just another kafir posing as intelliigent, like the ones in Atlanta
Everything regarding black accomplishments are made up or distorted.
You can fit black accomplishments on a 3 x 5 card, one side only.
And they bitch that black history month is the shortest, Feb.= 28 days.
If america recognized BLACK CRIMINAL HISTORY it would run all year, every year.
We need a white history month for all of OUR great accomplishments. If they have one we should have one too. I’m tired of public schools shoving bullshit down childrens throats into thinking that we’re all equal. At least white scholarships are now getting presented by true fighters for the cause. The struggle will be tough but in the end we will take back what’s ours!
All implicated and found guilty should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law….but, two of the three district attorneys who will make the decision whether or not to pursue prosecution are black. Will there be justice or will they “walk?” Perhaps law respecting citiizens of all colors should participate in a march for truth, justice and the American way!
My children, unfortunately, are awaiting the outcomd of this sordid mess.
yall some racist people, this dont even make no sense. Actually, BLACK people are capable as much as white people ! EVERY RACE is capable of the same thing, you just have to try. What need is there for a white history month, when every other month is yalls anyways. Hispanic people have their own month, and so do we. So why should it even matter, yall put other races through hell just because yall wanna stay on top. Yall gonna be on top regardless, because everyone looks at yall at a higher status anyways, yall still think yall better than us. Yall just had a head start in education, cause while we was out picking yall cotton and crops and stuff, yall in tha house living good and eating good and getting a good education. While yall never wanted us to learn anything, but you see we moved up. Even, if some of our inventions were similar to white inventions, that should even matter because YALL USING THEM STILL , if it wasnt for us yall wouldnt be so rich and wouldnt have everything. To tell you the truth we made yall, cause we taught yall a bunch of stuff. It doesnt even matter about race because, EVERYONE CAN LEARN SOMETHING FROM SOMEONE IF U JUST TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO OTHERS, AND IT CAN ALWAYS BENEFIT YOU IN SOME WAY. Hate racist people. I know im not gonna let any of yall put me down just because of my race.
This is sad. I am doing a history project on the education system and came across this site. It is nice to see that Racism is still very well alive in the American society. it is nice to see that ignorant people still exist. it is nice to see that some people still care enough for others to realize that everybody is created equal.
My first reaction to the ignorant BS that the first few people stated was anger and enrage. but then i thought about it let me see it from the eyes of white people.
BLACKS shouldn’t be given an upper hand because were enslaved and brought to America and used to bring about the society we see today.
BLACKS shouldn’t be given a month to pay homage to those who fought against society that was to weak to stand alone so they needed to stand on the backs of others.
BLACKS shouldn’t be given special treatment just because the color their skin. Blacks should be weighed on the merits of the work that they do.
HOWEVER, here is the problem that comes about that. this problem has been seen over and over in the history of America, silly little WHITE people cant stand alone, they must stand on the backs of others.
Why have those who join the WHITE fight against the black blight forgotten that we are all here in America as immigrants. However blacks didn’t come over seeing the seas and feeling the wind in the air. WE WERE BROUGHT IN THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SHIPS.
so guess what silly little WHITE man who cant stand alone or do your own with out the help of your fathers, who had help from their father who had help from their forefathers. You have tried to keep us in the place you call ours and we rise, you have spit in our face, and we rise.
WE will take every bit of help that we get until leaders rise from our ranks again. If your not scared as you were before, maybe you will listen this time instead of strike us down. you silly little white man, meet silly little black boy who can and will strike you down not with might but with rights.
The only thing that these administrators and teachers did wrong was benefit financially from helping these students. giving every student a chance to succeed with certification is what they were trying to do. to have experience without certification gets people nowhere. Certification with out experience gets you far. but to have both gets you further.
