Kimberly Ashcraft, the mother of the Camden County High student who reported the teacher's offensive comments told WAVY: ‘It is very disturbing.’

Ashcraft's daughter said Ramsey was in her classroom along with several other students who were eating lunch.

In the course of a conversation Ramsey began to talk about what she would do if she knew she was going to die.

‘Mrs. Ramsey [indicated] that if she only had 10 days to live that she would kill all black people,’ Ashcraft told WAVY. The remark left the student and the student’s mother shocked.

‘I was completely shocked,’ she continued. ‘I asked her again, ‘Are you sure that was what you heard?’ I could not have imagined a teacher saying that.’
