Mother convicted of felony for fibbing in order to put her kids in a better public school - Boing Boing

This really hit me close to home because my mom did the exact same thing to make sure I got into a school where I could experience something as small as going to a county fair or just studying around people and places I felt safe. 
One day the school found out and kicked me out. My mom argued with the principal for an hour, but I ended up going to a very shitty school for a couple years.  It sucked.
This sucks FAR more.  It really makes no sense.
