I just signed the petition “Barack Obama, Georgia Governor, Judge Baxter: Make the punishment of the Atlanta Public School Educators fit the crime.” and wanted to see if you could help by adding your name.

The goal is to reach 100 signatures and we need more support. You can read more and sign the petition here:

Who did these teachers murder and what happened to the white teachers that did the same thing. Utterly ridiculous. Pray for them . Prayers change things.

It’s only prison time because the teachers were black… this situation has happened Many times in other areas with children of different ethnicity but They Keep it Quiet and only a few supervisors or administrators get a slap on the wrist… This could be handled ina Much Better Manner… how about having them do Community Service for Children or Prisoners, helping to ReEducate the less fortunate. How about them Speaking on Learning from Making Mistakes and how to Do Better.

I have mixed emotions about this case. On one hand, I feel like they shouldn’t go to jail when all these dirty cops are going Scott free, but at the same time, kids were being adversely affected. It’s really sad all the way around

It’s a shame how our judicial system is so backwards when we’re giving teachers 20 years for cheating. It’s always the Black’s that always get messed over and we have to take a stand and stop letting them do this to us. We need to support our own spend with our own and show them we have the power to shut them down.
