ABSTRACT
In all probability the upheaval in Tiszadomb over the grade scandal at the high school would have passed unnoticed by the residents of the region, not to mention the rest of the nation, but for a small article in an obscure local paper, Petőfi Népe, published in Kecskemét. The article, entitled “Unearned Honors,” which appeared on June 8, 1988, was written by a young journalist, Benke Mártá. Benke was a resident of Tiszadomb; until recently, she had been a teacher at the high school and was an old acquaintance of Pintér Kati.
