A North Carolina teacher may lose her job after students reported her for making racist
remarks.

Math teacher Cynthia Ramsey of Camden County High School allegedly admitted to a student who was eating lunch that killing black people is on her “bucket list.”

“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,” the student’s mother, Kimberly Ashcraft, told WAVY-TV.

Ashcraft said she was stunned by the comment and couldn’t believe what she’d heard.

“I was completely shocked,” Ashcraft said. “I asked her again, ‘Are you sure that was what you heard?’ I could not have imagined a teacher saying that.”

Ashcraft says what is even more worrisome is that Ramsey is not only a teacher, but head of the math department.

“I conveyed to my daughter that this is a very serious allegation and I need confirmation that this did happen,” Ashcraft explained.

An officer told the news station that other students confirmed the story told by Ashcraft’s daughter.

EXCLUSIVE: 90 City Schools Failed To Pass A Single Black or Hispanic on State Test

Black-Students-Fail-School

Dozens of public schools across the city failed to pass even a single black or Hispanic student on this year’s state math or reading exams, a new analysis shows.

Pro-charter school group Families for Excellent Schools found no black or Hispanic kids passed the standardized tests based on the more stringent Common Core standards at 90 schools with diverse student bodies.

Families for Excellent Schools CEO Jeremiah Kittredge said the study’s findings should shock the city Education Department into taking fresh action to help struggling students.

“It’s time for bold and transformational change,” said Kittredge. “We need to acknowledge that this is not the fault of children — it’s the fault of our system.”
