Not “white collar” crime but “black color” crime.

DPS has been looted by the corrupt dem/black political establishment of Detroit for decades. The buildings are crumbling, the system is insolvent, the teachers are on strike, the graduates of the system are illiterate and ignorant.

There is a solution. Declare the system bankrupt and give any assets to the bondholders. Fire all the employees. Issue vouchers to the parents and let the marketplace work its magic.

These upstanding folks likely all got cash awards for “exceptional performance” on the job.

Ya, they got awards for performance. How crazy, considering that so many graduates of Detroit public schools are illiterate.

Of course we can’t talk about all the problems of inner city public schools in one paragraph here. But, things couldn’t be any worse if they tear down the system and start over.

I was curious to see comments so I clicked on the article.

Alas, no comments allowed. Also, I guess it didn’t matter the color of the perps. Or names.

Because I’m sure CNN doesn’t think it is relevant. I, however, do.

So, racist that I am, I’m gonna guess most....90% or so, were Black..er..African American? Negro? Colored? Non-White? I know, it makes me a bad person for stereotyping. But. I doesn’t make me wrong. If I am wrong, then....Well I’m pretty sure I’m not. But If I am. Then no apology forthcoming.

Thanks VERY MUCH for posting. All of this and governor Rick Granholm Snyder and the rat republicans in the legislature just decided to send $48.7 million in “emergency aid” for Detroit schools down the RATHOLE of unaccountability.

This is why there is just never enough money in public/government school funding.

Pretty much expected in a rat organization. I’ll bet there’s plenty more that haven’t been caught yet.
