OH mom jailed for sending kids to a better school

If she aborted the children before they were born it would just be her "choice" So much for pro-choice. This is what happens when a person tries to get out of dependency on the government.

What dependency is going on? The education of the children?

Last I checked though the criminals that make certain schools unsafe aren't exactly shaking in their boots in fear of PTAs or school boards.

If she had time to take the kids to her father's house every day in order for them to catch the school bus and/or drop them off at the school outside of her school's zone then those kids weren't affected by crime anyway since the mother was with them.

Crime doesn't make schools sub-par. Uninvolved parents do. She may've used the excuse that there was too much crime but that's simply an attention-grabbing sob story. What she shold've said was, "I refuse to send my kids to a substandard school." She didn't. Instead she chose to break the law and then tried to drum up support by blaming her poor choice on someone else.

If there are local laws requiring that apartment complexes offer a certain number of units at below-market rates so hoodrats have a way to get out without actually accomplishing anything, then yes. They're moochers and parasites. If all apartments are offered at market rates, then rents and mortgages tend to be in a certain equilibrium. I have no problem with market-rate rent payers.

Bingo!

This whole personal responsibilty thing is cool, isn't it!

I happened upon this (to me) very interesting commentary just tonight:

I especially like the idea about attaching tax-funds-for-education to the child, rather than to a school district.
