NC Teacher's Reveals Bucket List: "If she only had 10 days to live she would kill all black people”

Teacher suspended for alleged racist remarks



North Carolina teacher is under investigation for racist remarks students said she made in class.

Cynthia Ramsey, who teaches math at Camden County High School, was speaking to a student eating lunch in the classroom when she discussed an item on her “bucket list,” the student’s mother said.

“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,” mother Kimberly Ashcraft told WAVY-TV.


Ashcraft said other students were nearby when Ramsey made the comment.

“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.”

This is not a person that should be teaching or even around children.

I'm thinking that her life expectancy would be something less than 10 days if she decided to carry out her demented desire.
