Created by G.S. on November 29, 2012

For too many families, a safe and quality education is out of reach.

Parents like Kelley Williams-Bolar-OH,Tonya McDowell CT, Mr.and Mrs. Hamlet Garcia-PA,Yolanda Miranda-NY and Marie Menard, a Connecticut grandmother, were arrested and prosecuted for grand larceny, stealing an education for their child(ren)

In America, your zip code or your socioeconomic status should never determine the quality of your education. (Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education)

As a result, parents across the country are asking the Obama Administration through the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights to investigate state and local school residency laws to ensure no parent is discriminated against and denied equal protections as outlined by Federal Law. We must END unequal school systems
