The cheating scandal in Atlanta, where teachers, principles, and the superintendent all conspired to change student test scores. To make it appear their schools were improving every year. When in fact they took out their pink erasers and, using their teacher guide, changed the scores to the right answer.
Gaming the system so their school could be seen as "improving". No corrective action, no allowing kids to transfer out, and all good in the eyes of the U.S. Department of Education.
Until...
A brave 3rd grade teacher, Jackie Parks, according to the PBS News Hour, could not live with this situation. A religious Christian, couldn't abide by this falsity. She spoke out after a fashion.
The third graders, falsely led to believe they had done well on these tests. The superintendent - could face up to 41 years in prison.
One Christian, speaking out. Christianity can save the world. It starts with one person.
