An insider’s accounts of the infamous Atlanta General public Academic institutions cheating scandal which scapegoated dark employees for problems caused by an education reform movement that is increasingly a proxy for corporate and business greed.

In March of 2013, thirty-five black educators in Atlanta General public Schools were charged with racketeering and conspiracy-the same charges used to bring down the American mafia-for allegedly changing students’ answers on standardized tests. The youngest of the accused, Shani Robinson experienced about None from the Above: The Untold Tale from the Atlanta Community Academic institutions Cheating Scandal, Corporate and business Greed, and the Criminalization of Educators taught for just 3 years and was a fresh mother when she was wrongfully convicted and experienced up to twenty years in prison.

In None of the Above, Robinson and journalist Anna Simonton explore how racist policies and practices cheated generations of black children away of opportunities long before some teachers tampered with tests. Evaluating the corporate education reform motion, hyper-policing in dark communities, cycles of displacement and gentrification, and widening racial and financial disparities in Atlanta, they reveal how the financially powerful have got profited from privatization and the dismantling of public education. From this backdrop, they solid the story from the cheating scandal in a fresh light, illuminating a deeply flawed investigation and a circus-like trial spun right into a media sensation that defied justice.
