A North Carolina teacher has been allowed to return to the classroom after allegedly telling a student that, with only days to live, she would “kill all black people.” It’s left parents wondering why she was allowed to return after only a few days of paid suspension.
According to 10WAVY, a student at Camden County High School went home a few weeks ago and told her mother of a conversation in the school cafeteria that day.
It seems several students were discussing ‘bucket lists,’ things they’d want to do if they learned they had only a short time to live, and the teacher joined the conversation to say what she’d do if she had only 10 days to live.
I’d kill all black people.
Though no other context is offered for the conversation, there is no possible context in which that statement is not problematic and threatening, particularly coming from a teacher.
Though an investigation ensued, including the school and the Camden County Police Department, the teacher returned to school after only a few days of paid suspension, reports say.
On Facebook pages relating to the school, Camden County residents are speaking out.
They should not let a racist teacher teach at that school. They should of fired her.
On Twitter, too, people are expressing shock that the teacher was allowed to return to work after several students report witnessing the statements.
I think that Cynthia Ramsey teacher at Camden County high school should be fired..if a kid did that they would be banished

Ramsey herself has made no public comment, though the County Sheriff said he had turned over information discovered in the investigation to the District Attorney, who would make the determination whether to press any charges against the teacher.
The teacher who allegedly said she’d like to “…kill all black people” is not only a teacher at the school, but the head of the math department, with the accompanying degree of seniority and influence.
