Disabled & Denied - A Project Baltimore investigation

[@DEVDADIvine]

All Baltimoreans should be outraged by the schools failure of our children. This is is sickening.

[@urbanomiks3552]

Get your picket signs ready . Where’s Black Lives Matter? All 4 students, all 4 black males . I bet they can get a squeegee or a gun . Listen ? That the sound of a bunch of Baltimore city schools shredder going full throttle.

[@melviasheppard8466]

They're not the only ones doing that. That's why you can find people with good jobs, dumber than a box of rocks.

[@bigmountain1970]

This is what “Equity” looks like. Just pass them to keep the racial disparity down, regardless of the actual outcome.

[@DEVDADIvine]

@@bigmountain1970 How is your comment Germain to my post? The video is Project Baltimore uncovering Baltimore School corruption towards disabled children.

[@torristalk9239]

I'm beyond mad that's why I'm my children biggest advocate I don't trust this school system at all

[@joyceedgington5298]

As a Disabled person, I am angry. As a human being, I AM DISGUSTED

[@tinfoilhatnews7489]

I agree and I understand.

[@watermelonindianboi]

As someone also with a disability I’m disgusted

[@theresapoll]

l used to work for Baltimore City Public Schools with 4th graders, back in the late 90's only two months. The principal wanted me to change grades even though some of the children couldn't read. The Teacher before me probably went along with this scam, to keep her job. When l had a discussion with the principal about some of the children that couldn't read to comprehend an assignment. This foolish woman told me long as the children can write my work off the board, that was okay. She told me you only been here for two months and don't understand. l told her l understand that l'm not going to prison for changing grades. After l fussed her out l got up, told her l quit and when back to teach Childcare students. It's all about money in their pockets and forget the education for children, so grateful l left.

[@NotfromDetroit]

WOW! Glad you had a heart and sense not to do illegal stuff like that! That’s why the kids are not educated because they are being passed without learning.

[@deoncollins2356]

I had already figured that out

[@edg947]

Wow

[@reneedennis2011]

Good grief 😔. I'm glad that you left. You obviously cared enough about the kids to NOT give them grades that they didn't earn. It's a sad situation.

[@reneedennis2011]

​@jessicasmith5728Yup. Look up the APS Cheating Scandal.

[@london1963]

Let’s get this done in all school systems as well! A lot of funding and IEP assigning, investigations are necessary.

[@roblau1951]

Same shit happening in Mesa public schools in Arizona. I started to refuse to sign my kid’s daily progress report because it was a lie and the same thing has been written on it for the last 5 months of the school year. I confronted the teacher about it and the teacher acted all surprised as if it was the truth of how my daughters day was going while in school.

[@darmadusa]

My son is grown now, but when he transferred from Baltimore County to the Baltimore City School System, it was ALWAYS a battle for things to run smoothly. Whether it was half-assed paraprofessional services (a one-on-one), transportation (which was a nightmare all the way up to his junior year), or getting my son out of classrooms that had students out of control and the teachers terrified to do anything about it, it was quite the challenge. I thought the shotty culture of how the city's schools were run would have improved by now, but it just seems to have gotten worse. I didn't think that was possible! This is so frustrating and sad.

[@thekitchenvillain]

It’s sad because ALL these superintendents are partying at these events. Outside at these damn block parties. Everytime a camera pulls up about their dirty deeds, they run away.

[@deborahd.7281]

These school board members are irresponsible, they should have time to answer questions in detail. The news reporter should report on the board members salaries and benefits

[@librarynan4610]

You get what you vote for. The entire school board needs to be personally sued and the superintendent fired.

[@melviasheppard8466]

WOW, this really got to me. I used to work with differently able kids. I'm in my 60's now and actually concerned about this problem. Thinking about going back to school to get a Nursing license so I can help them. I'm I too old ? 🤔

[@matt8847]

No never too late

[@sharinaross1865]

It's never too late.

[@ungrateful-66]

Not at all! People are aging SO much better than my grandparents’ generation of people as a millennial due to having more knowledge and keep in mind you can easily live another 40 to 60 years if you’re not too particular about your health and ive never met a nurse dumb enough to fall for “trendy diets,” which don’t work. I’m almost 40 and considering doing same thing because of natural interests and predictable future boredom.

[@blaqbutii]

See why we should homeschool our brown babies!! They used his disability to gain monetary value yet he got nothing in return smh. School boards are trifling.

[@ungrateful-66]

The corruption of our school boards here in South Florida is next level but really any local legislative body down here including teachers unions and condo associations are corrupt one way or another.

[@-carly-]

tf does race have to do with this?

[@godssoncompletely9259]

Money money money money money money So sad 😔 a very disgusting situation people these days have no Soul these are children we talking about 😤But this Project Baltimore documentary is definitely going to be used in the Federal case coming soon 🔜

[@danyelpickett2191]

Close all of the city schools and start over

[@NotfromDetroit]

Every last one f them! And don’t let elect the same board members!

[@phoeinixrisen2611]

There's definitely money involved! They probably got government funding for those kids!

[@deoncollins2356]

The people that work in the school system is doing that cuz they receive a grant for each student that is attending in Baltimore City Public School

[@mainejack5398]

I know how she feels my daughter was kicked off the section 8 list for having Down syndrome and vomiting Syndrome and schizophrenia my daughter and my self we both was kicked off the section 8 list by the mayor of Baltimore City this is not right please keep fighting for your son

[@demetracorley5659]

Wow 😮 hence his 3.7 GPA being accurate as well. Shame on this school.

[@777MAG]

I would love to b a school nurse, can’t find a job as one. Really hard to get school nurse jobs and this poor kid needed one. They never want to pay nurses or have enough of them.

[@llw53one]

There needs to be a public board or something that outlines how we as a community can help. This is ridiculous!

[@godschildyes]

Throw them in Jail!

[@urbanblackmedia]

This is wrong on so many levels. They hold these positions and never speak up its terrible.

[@NotfromDetroit]

All the board members should be fired!

[@MrAveryBrown94]

This is sad and disturbing. Shame on this school district administration, in Baltimore. These kids & parents don’t deserve this. I’m glad these parents pursued justice on this. Prayers to these families, even in 2024, as I’m watching this report from 2022. 🤦🏿‍♂️💔😔

[@gloribyrd9259]

Lawyer time...

[@daughterofthecreator2585]

not shocked, the parents that are able, pull your children out homeschool.

[@monicad351]

Fudging grades omg 😳 smh. Didn't they have a whole scandal about admin lying about grades? See....

[@reneedennis2011]

Look up the APS Cheating Scandal.

[@herglowup.honestlyspeaking]

Harassment? Disruptive? Statements already issued? Chris just submit your questions ( you caught me completely off guard, but don't I look fabulous? It's my tax funded look!)

[@LueyLoca]

They never ask people like me who actually went through the school system. It’s always cherry picked stories. Anyway either homeschool your kids, move away or deal with the nonsense the city and county will bring.

[@reneedennis2011]

Maybe they can't afford to move away.

[@b.a.m.9962]

[@toddsichveland9756]

Angel Luis...if it wasn't for you...we would have never heard the truth 👈...I believe you. Amen

[@americanminotaur2518]

THIS is why local journalism is important. This news organization has done a great job informing the public about this issue. Change cannot take place unless the community knows about the problem.

[@lhead7226]

These teachers should be fired and so should these administrators. As a parent, who also has a child with an IEP these districts are MANDATED that they follow the guidelines that this child's medical doctor has outlined for them to attend school just like every other child. The state provides financial assistance for the district to provide care for any child with an IEP, so my questions are 1) where's the money the state has given the district for his care and 2) who is the child's school advocate and why have they not followed through on making sure the district does what they need to do? I hope this get's fixed.

[@reneedennis2011]

I agree.

[@nicolejennings8389]

Schools in Baltimore can't even provide school nurse on campus. Way to go Democrats. This is what you voted for.

[@larryhillebrand5421]

This is shameful this young man is smart an wants to learn an all the millions goin to that school board can get him a nurse but they said he was in school for the money they get for every student .they want the money but dont want to do there damn job

[@reneedennis2011]

Exactly.

[@shantoniosavage4052]

They put him down as attending school when he wasnt to get the check for him.

[@unknownmanufacturer2669]

As a disabled person due to a neurological disorder of the 🧠 I know for a fact that they don't help you or anything they will push you up each grade then after giving you the new that your permanently disabled they just stop doing everything including giving you your SSI when you need it the most because there isn't any job out there willingly going to hire someone with most types of disabilities it's sad really how we get forced forward without any real help or tools at our disposal to actually help us with going through the day to day life regular people just don't understand

[@MIRAISHOME000]

These is sad

[@brianbadershall5427]

They've been doing that for 50 years they do it in Maine

[@tierra195]

This is DISGUSTING.

[@everythingpony]

3:19 really? Its not that hard, twachers just mark him there and gave fake grades for their paycheck

[@aishasolomon7447]

So sad 😢. Those kids were disadvantaged on purpose. This will impact their future. They simply don’t care.

[@MyronM_erv1220]

It starts here

[@everythingpony]

So is the mom a nurse then?

[@Antmanpictures]

A lot of this goes to people trying to make a living. It’s illegal yes. But if the kid isn’t in school. The nurse doesn’t get paid. Some of this is laziness and some of this is exploited people exploiting people.

[@613aristocrat]

Wow. Baltimorons are being robbed blind.

[@everythingpony]

12:04 i cant tell if youre being sarcastic or not?

[@jamescoleman446]

Lol…the school CEO needs to dress for her gut better! 😂🤣🙋🏾‍♂️

[@sharinaross1865]

I cant name not one Baltimore rapper or country music artist.

[@Antmanpictures]

Make more education jobs salary.

[@shnazyacurry3579]

Pay day ! With a better education for there children

[@skylamanning150]
