Atlanta Teaching Scandal – Melanoid Nation Foundation https://www.melanoidnation.org Thu, 16 Apr 2015 21:00:06 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Is There a Double Standard Between Black and White Teachers? https://www.melanoidnation.org/is-there-a-double-standard-between-black-and-white-teachers/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/is-there-a-double-standard-between-black-and-white-teachers/#comments Thu, 16 Apr 2015 19:14:17 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=1421 With 11 of 12 Black educators in the Atlanta Public Schools system being hit with convictions in the teaching scandal, the world has witnessed the harsh consequences that these teaching professionals could suffer if they get involved in something seemingly minor as giving their students the answers to tests.

However, many people seemed to have forgotten the heinous sex offenses that certain white teachers committed against their underage students over the past few years. A link has been provided here to show that an overwhelming number  of white female teachers walked away unscathed by the judicial system after being sexually involved with their students.

The article even refers to the sex offenders as “hot” & “sexy”, as if to suggest that the overall well-being of these young students could be downplayed because of how the white female teachers were perceived physically. Since many in the dominant society and a few individuals in Black society are calling for the heads of these Black teachers, where is the outrage to know that children have been sexually violated by “sexy” white female teachers? Isn’t that considered to be a double standard?

Perhaps there would be more outrage if their pets were being violated instead.
