DPS sickouts a symptom of Lansing's ill behavior
"We're tired.
Tired of the political machinations some Lansing lawmakers indulge in while Detroit children's futures remain in peril and Detroit Public Schools teachers fear they'll lose their too-meager paychecks.
Tired of the lack of urgency exhibited by nearly everyone involved in the so-called fix for DPS, which we can't help but read as widespread lack of concern for Detroit kids' futures.
...What questions, you ask?
Lawmakers are, ostensibly, concerned that the spendthrift district will squander its state-granted $715 million, a notion that fits comfortably into the stereotype of Detroiters' profligacy (and let's get real, by "Detroiters," what's meant is "African Americans") but neatly overlooks the reality of DPS:
The district has spent the better part of this century under state control.
It's still under state control, with former U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes the latest in a succession of leaders who have failed to fix the district's financial — much less academic — problems.
Those problems, you'll note, have grown worse...."
