[CAF Note: The Chinese have a saying that the way to scare the monkeys is to kill a chicken. The American oligarchy intends to convert US education to a richly profitable corporate business that allows them to re-engineering labor costs out and then to harvest children – funded by taxpayer mandates. The way to get the teachers to shut up and roll over as the first part of this vision is implemented with standardized testing is to terrify them with a few good examples of what the machinery will do to anyone who is disobedient. The prosecution of teachers in Atlanta is a case that deserves attention. Bankers can engage in $40 trillion of fraud and the RICO statutes do not apply. But they can be applied to teachers, and lies and false evidence can be used to do it.]

Dessa Curb is relieved she no longer has the cloud of the Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal hanging over her life and always thought she would be found innocent.
“I wasn’t guilty. I didn’t believe I would be found guilty and the God I serve, I trusted,” said Curb, the only one of 12 defendants charged with racketeering and on trial who was acquitted of all charges.
