polyamorousmisanthrope: whyyoustabbedme: This is really so fucked up. These are the stories we need to be hearing about in the news. This pisses me off to no end. I am white. I am the beneficiary of my great-grandparents doing exactly what Ms. McDowell did. They were very poor. They sent my grandmother to a richer school district in the hopes of her getting a better education. She did. She pushed education on her children. My father was the first in his family to get a college education in some generations. I grew up in a different world than my grandmother because of it. MY great-grandparents were applauded for wanting better for their kids. Ms. McDowell does not deserve to go to jail for the same thing. it’s a stinking injustice. You want systemic racism, this is it in a nutshell, buddy. -- source link
