1. adrianfrimpong: iamdonald: beaver-beaver: Mother convicted of felony for fibbing in order to put her kids in a better public school - Boing Boing This really hit me close to home because my mom did the exact same thing to make sure I got into a school where I could experience something as small as going to a county fair or just studying around people and places I felt safe.  One day the school found out and kicked me out. My mom argued with the principal for an hour, but I ended up going to a very shitty school for a couple years.  It sucked. This sucks FAR more.  It really makes no sense.  Read the story.  Sign the petition to help if you like, HERE.  Wow. I know my mom would’ve done the same for me and my brothers.  I mean, if I had kids, I would think that I would do anything to ensure they get the best education available.  Even going to jail? … damn.  My twin’s dead on.  Not everything that is legal is moral and vice versa. She lied to give her children a better shot and in doing so hurt her chances even more of doing so…  That’s good ole ‘Merican justice for you huh.
