Ms.Kelly Williams-Bolar is a single mother living in a housing projects in Akron,Ohio with her two daughters. She was doing all she could to make a better life for her girls. At age 40, she went back to school to get her certification to become a teacher. Last week, Ms.Williams-Bolar was sentenced to 10 days in jail for using her father's address so that her daughters could go to school in the all- white Copley Township school district. She, along with her father was convicted of a fourth degree felony of grand theft and defrauding the school system of $30,500 (the two year cost of tutition).
I really have a problem with this because this mother just wanted to make sure her girls got an education in a safe environment. Ms.Williams- Bolar was almost finished completing the courses she needed to become a teacher, but now that she's a "convicted felon", she's not allowed to teach in the state of Ohio. I bet if Ms. Williams-Bolar had a son who was a superstar athlete and was helping that school win games, nobody would have said a mumbling word. Matter of fact, they probably would have offered her a little cash on the side and a rent free apartment to live in. These things happen all the time.(don't ask me how I know)
She really need our help right now.
