Mary Willingham is in deep doo-doo. You see, she's the former professor at the Univ. of North Carolina in charge of teaching student athletes--until she retired and turned whistle blower. She has been condemned by the school for raising a ruckus regarding athletes receiving fake grades. She said that athletes were guided toward fake classes and received gifted grades to comply with NCAA rules. Even so, one professor, Julius Nyang'oso has been charged with fraud and, of course, is fighting these charges.
Willingham found that between 2004-12 183 athletes, in football and basketball, were reading at levels between grades 4-8.
It's imperative, in Willingham's defense, that proof be exhibited. So here it is; a 146 word essay on Rosa Parks, the civil rights icon for which the writer received an A-. Roy Williams, the UNC head basketball coach, came to the defense of his players. He said that his team has one of the highest graduation rates in the country. I believe him. With an essay of the type presented Zippy the Chimp would graduate with honors.
"On the evening of December Rosa Parks decided that she was going to sit in the white people section on the bus in Montgomery, Alabama. During this time blacks had to give up there seats to whites when more whites got on the bus. Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. Her and the bus driver began to talk and the conversation went like this. 'Let me have those front seats' said the driver. She didn’t get up and told the driver that she was tired of giving her seat to white people. I’m going to have you arrested,' said the driver. 'You may do that,' Rosa Parks responded. Two white policemen came in and Rosa Parks asked them 'why do you all push us around?' The police officer replied and said 'I don’t know, but the law is the law and you’re under arrest".
