Democracy Now! | Ohio Mother Jailed for Trying to Send Children to Better School

Democracy Now! | Headlines for January 31, 2011: "In Ohio, a single mother of two was released from jail last week after serving nine days for falsifying records so her two daughters could attend a better school. Kelley Williams-Bolar, a 40-year-old African American teaching assistant for kids with special needs, was convicted of using her father’s address to claim residency status allowing her children to attend a higher-performing suburban school. Williams-Bolar’s conviction comes with an additional punishment. She is only a few credits shy of earning her teaching degree, but under Ohio law, a felony conviction will prevent her from obtaining her teaching license. She plans to appeal the case."
