The homeless woman accused of stealing up to $15,600 from Norwalk taxpayers by sending her 5-year-old son to a city elementary school pleaded not guilty Wednesday during an arraignment in state Superior Court.

Tanya McDowell, 33, who is facing up to 20 years in jail on first-degree larceny and conspiracy charges. The case was continued until May 11.

All this for attempting to give a child a public education?

What kind of asshole goes:
"An impovershed mother attempting to give her 6-year-old child an education? In my town? That doesn't fly right with me, padre!!"

I don't know a word in the english language to describe how contemptuous this is.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

They would send a woman with a child to prison for 20 years but my friendly neighbourhood peadophile only gets 2 to 3 years for abusing girls online?

WTF

WHAT?!?! and you people think WE'RE backward. Even in this country everyone has a right to an education and we sure as hell don't send homeless mothers to prison for signing her son up for an education.

WTF

Question: How did he or she abuse girls online?

Not that I am condoning it, just got my curiosity peaked on how that works?

America is a HUGE nation, this is just one town in it. I can tell you that MANY people across America are very pissed at this whole situation right now.

Holy shit - did I ever misread that!

My apologies. I thought the article was referring to a woman in Britain.

Now I'm embarrassed ... and not just for my country.
