Guilty of love
by Sharon Pangelinan
Guilty of Love is a heartbreaking true-life drama about a family wanting nothing other than to practice their inalienable right to home educate their children. Disheartened by the abuse their mixed race children received in the Alabama public school system, the Pangelinans decided to home educate their children in spite of an unconstitutional compulsory education law in Alabama. Arrested for their "crime" the parents were told by the court system they had to turn their children over to the State. Refusing to do so, they were thrown in jail for nearly a year.
This book details the abuse of power by an overzealous and racist district attorney and a state bent on making an example of mixed race couples and families in America's deep south during the 1980's.
