This is what passes for academia in America. From The Economist: Convicted of racketeering, 11 educators were handcuffed on April 1st for their roles in a cheating scandal within Atlanta's public schools (APS) that stretches back to 2001. The criminal investigation that led to the beginning of the trial last August involved more than 50 schools and hundreds of interviews with pupils, parents and staff. One teacher was acquitted.  And how did it all begin? Suspiciously high scores on the Criterion-Reference Competency Test, standardised exams that assess competency in maths, English and other skills, prompted first a local newspaper, and then Georgia's former governor Sonny Perdue, to start asking questions. https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics7_cheaters.jpg
