    I do not agree with the sentence BUT... the headline is completely misleading!!! Just be clear about why she was sent to prison(*), manipulating info is not the way.

    This said, I think her crime doesn´t deserve such a sentence, I already signed the Pardon Petition.

    (*)An Ohio mother of two was sentenced to 10 days in jail and placed on three years probation after sending her kids to a school district in which they did not live. (...) Additionally, Williams-Bolar’s father, Edward L. Williams, was charged with a fourth-degree felony of grand theft, in which he and his daughter are charged with defrauding the school system for two years of educational services for their girls. The court determined that sending their children to the wrong school was worth $30,500 in tuition

    Now hopefully her career will be ok.

    I know, Nofay, but that is not the point. The reason why she was sent to jail is bc she lied about the district the kids were living in. It doesn´t matter if the kids were black, white or whatever color you wanna name.

    But, anyway, let´s celebrate she is out of prison now, which is the most important thing! I wish her and the kids all the best in the future.

    They will make up any excuse to try to mask their bitter seething racism. This is nothing new.
