I have no problem with a school district taking steps to ensure the kids at the school belong there. But there is no way in hell I am ever going to agree that it is actual theft or larceny to enroll your kid in a better school. Fuck that noise. I understand that this particular person is going to jail more for the drug dealing than anything else, but the precedent being set here is still fucked up.
I'm pretty sure that this precedent is VERY challengable and wouldn't hold up in a higher court.
