Author and social justice warrior, Ta-Neishi Coates, has screenplay titled "Wrong Answer" that is being made into a movie. It is about the true story of Damany Lewis. Lewis, a HS math teacher in Atlanta, conspired to cheat on standardized test scores for students 10 years ago. He and ten other teachers erased incorrect answers and replaced those wrong answers with correct responses.
The result: the school saw an incredible 31 point increase in test scores. Also, the district received awards and a multi-million grant from the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation.
But the movie instead on focusing on the fact Lewis and the teachers conspired to commit fraud and cheated students ... the film is going to show Lewis as a hero.

Note: If you have read anything from Ta-Neishi Coats then his warped view on the situation is unsurprising. In his world, it is always the fault of someone else.
