There is confirmation from a student forced to fight the victim, and from cameras showing one of the teachers pushing her.
There are some bad people and bad schools out there.

There’s no information about why this girl was chosen as a victim.

My gut guess was right.
I 2nd-guessed myself when I saw the names. Thought maybe they were white trash after all.

“The girl’s mother told police that Gallow retaliated against the girl for reporting Shelvin to the principal.”

I’ve actually seen teachers who regularly singled out a particular student to humiliate and bully, and encourage the other students to do the same. Naturally the kids get the message to continue the pressure on the play ground and on the school busses, or walk home. It’s a horribly miserable situation to be in, and it’s nothing new. It’s been going on for eons. The long term effect is crippling at best, deadly at worst.
To: Tax-chick
The only thing I can find is a rather vague statement in the NY Post that the teacher "did not like the girl or her mother".

Well, yes, but that doesn’t explain why Ms. Shelvin had targeted this girl rather than a different student.
There’s a reason that a piece of journalism was supposed to address “the five Whys”: Who, What, When, Where, Why. We want to know, and if the information isn’t provided, we know the writer isn’t doing the job right.

Abuse of power of the kind mentioned in this article are just absolutely despicable, and should carry severe punishment...

My first search for “teacher told student to commit suicide” gave me a white teacher in the Charlotte area, in a case a year old. So, open minds and all that.

My sister-in-law was bullied by such a teacher when she was a child, and it’s my husband’s belief that it did long-lasting harm.

I don’t think black on black would be considered a hate crime.

School surveillance cameras caught Gallow pushing the girl onto the school bleachers on two occasions, the sheriffs office said. When questioned by police, Gallow admitted pushing the student because she felt the girl was too upset to go start her testing. Doesn't make any sense to me either.

That sounds like Ms. Gallow just made something up when she was caught.

You are probably right. Maybe the child is hispanic??

Is your last sentence, which cannot be read as anything but highly prejudiced, acceptable in this forum?

No, they don't.
They, and the school, are claiming "student privacy" as the reason they are not telling the rest of the story but everyone local knows who, what, when, where and why. I predict that the rest of the story will be on-line inside a week.
