Apple for the Teacher — True Crime
Apple for the Teacher

True crime stories in the school system – told by a teacher from Australia. For people looking for something different in the true crime genre, other than Ted Bundy or the Zodiac Killer. Diverse and lesser-known stories – an albino student murder in Africa, schoolgirl sexual slavery in Libya, a teacher beheaded in France, Polish teachers executed by the Nazis, just to name a few. School-based tragedies are also featured – a school bus stranded in a snowstorm, a school wiped out by a landslide, the drowning of students in a sinking ship. So join host Ana Thomas, as she presents the bad apples.

EP 137 - Stockade Nov 20, 2021

Show notes

*WARNING* - This episode contains terminology used to describe African Americans and may offend some listeners. However, it is used in the context of the story.

The high school girls were imprisoned. Why?

The 1960’s in America were a decade of profound change and upheaval in society, culture and politics. The Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, and political assassinations were to define the era. But there was another event which occurred that so few people even know about. It's a story which seems to have been forgotten by time and by history.
