I just read about the Kelley Williams-Bolar case, a mother of two daughters who lied about where she lived in order for
her daughters to have a better education, free from the violence of the neighborhood where they lived. When prosecuted she
was not able to pay the $30,000 the school district said she owed, she was sentenced, as a felon, to 10 days in jail (according
to ABC News).
Have we returned to a time of separate but equal -- again? Over the last twenty years, privatization
of this country's public schools systems has left many a child on the outside of what used to be a right --the right to public
education. People are debating the school district issue and loosing sight of the right that every American should have to
quality education and the lines being drawning around who gets access to quality education and who does not.
There is
a dangerous precedent being made here that goes beyond Ms. Williams-Bolar doing what she felt she needed to do to protect
and give her daughters a decent education. If we do not pay attention and deeply explore the growing divisions along the lines
of privilege we perpetuate a "cradle to prison pipeline" coined by the Children's Defense Fund.
CDF's
vision with it's Cradle to Prison Pipeline campaign is to reduce detention and incarceration by increasing preventive
supports and services children need, such as access to quality early childhood development and education services and accessible,
comprehensive health and mental health coverage. Emphasis must be shifted for the sake of our children and our nation's
future.
Access to quality education is much more than a boundary issue and needs to be at the core of the political
agenda of this country.
I can hardly believe we have walked over a thousand miles and have had the opportunity to engage with people on the streets
and in communities, from Atlanta, GA, through Florida, and across the southern USA to our current location in Austin, TX.
