Maybe There's Something in the Water

Dear Georgia,

What is wrong with your kids? First, it was those little gremlins who attempted to attack their teacher.Now it’s fifth-graders attempting to poison their teacher?

Three fifth-grade girls put two and a half Tylenol pills in their teacher’s tea. Apparently, Dana Fox did something very upsetting to these girls: she rolled her eyes. According to the students, they said Miss Fox was prejudiced against them for being black.

Even more bizarre is, despite the girls being charged with aggravated assault, the fact that they remain in the classroom. They were scheduled to appear in court last week, but the case was delayed. As such, they are attending class with the teacher they attempted to harm.

It may seem silly that the girls used Tylenol in an attempt to poison their teacher, but the intent of harm is clearly present.

I'm not too sure if there is a scientific term for the “trickle-down effect.” Georgia, your laws and regulations are clearly not effective. The ineptitude of the state is blatantly reflected in the ineptitude of these young ladies. How can you let three girls who attempted to poison their teacher remain in the classroom? I commend Miss Fox for staying, but I can only imagine the ambivalent emotions she must be feeling – ambivalent in the sense that she must be angry and disappointed, but at the same time, fearing a repeat incident and hoping for the better. I wonder if she now has to cater her lessons as not to insult these girls again.

Stay strong, Miss Fox. That headache will soon subside.

Sincerely,
Mitchell.

Peace.
