Liberal Democrats are locking poor minority parents for the crime of sending their kids to better schools

See the Black woman in the photo?

Liberals are charging her with educational theft for the crime of wanting a better education for her kids.

I have made the argument for years that the Democrat Party who control virtual every inner city public school system in the country BY DESIGN don’t mind if Black and Latino kids are hopelessly locked into failing schools.

This serves two purposes:

1. To under educate minority children so they can be more susceptible to Democrat propaganda
2. Keep failing schools open even if their terrible to coniine collecting union dues from teachers to be funneled back to the Democrat Party in campaign contribution. That’s why the hate vouchers and Charter schools because it’s a threat to the money flow.

And when poor parents try to give their kids a better education this same Democrat controlled system is criminalizing them and throwing in jail with real crooks.

In case you needed further proof of the American education system's failings, especially in poor and minority communities, consider the latest crime to spread across the country: educational theft. That's the charge that has landed several parents, such as Ohio's Kelley Williams-Bolar, in jail this year.

An African-American mother of two, Ms. Williams-Bolar last year used her father's address to enroll her two daughters in a better public school outside of their neighborhood. After spending nine days behind bars charged with grand theft, the single mother was convicted of two felony counts. Not only did this stain her spotless record, but it threatened her ability to earn the teacher's license she had been working on.

Ms. Williams-Bolar caught a break last month when Ohio Republican Gov. John Kasich granted her clemency, reducing her charges to misdemeanors from felonies. His decision allows her to pursue her teacher's license, and it may provide hope to parents beyond the Buckeye State.

In the last year, parents in Connecticut, Kentucky and Missouri have all been arrested—and await sentencing—for enrolling their children in better public schools outside of their districts.

These arrests represent two major forms of exasperation. First is that of parents whose children are zoned into failing public schools—they can't afford private schooling, they can't access school vouchers, and they haven't won or haven't even been able to enter a lottery for a better charter school. Then there's the exasperation of school officials finding it more and more difficult to deal with these boundary-hopping parents.

From California to Massachusetts, districts are hiring special investigators to follow children from school to their homes to determine their true residences and decide if they "belong" at high-achieving public schools.

What more proof does the minority community need to realize the Democrat Party only cares about their votes and nothing else?
