Tanya McDowell, a Connecticut mother who was accused of sending her child to a school that is outside her home district, has been sentenced to 12-years in prison. The mother pleaded guilty to fraudulently enrolling her young son in a school in the Norwalk district and stealing $15,000 worth of educational services in the process. There is no way to "steal" a free public education and this judge was in complete error. This is simply a travesty considering how much money black America has paid tax dollars to help finance "better" public schools that their own children cannot attend.
