Ms. Wilbourn obviously flunked her critical thinking class.

Last month the Detroit Free Press published a sympathetic story by columnist Rochelle Riley about a Detroit Public School principal named Kenyetta Wilbourn who pleaded guilty to bribery and tax evasion charges. Wilbourn used her position to put relatives on the payroll, took kickbacks from vendors and wrote fake grant requests.
Wilbourn, who said in the story she considered herself like Robin Hood, was also quoted about her own financial problems: “We’re talking about systemic poverty and what does that look like?†she said. “Yes, I may have a Gucci bag or a pair of Cartier (glasses), but I don’t have any money for an emergency.â€
ForTheRecord says: Riley’s story doesn’t mention Wilbourn’s salary.
In 2009, Wilbourn earned $79,876. She got a slight raise to $81,046 at the start of 2010, and then a big one later that year — $31,000 — that lifted her pay to $112,083. Her salary was $110,013 when she resigned in 2012.
The median household income in Detroit during those years was $26,325.
Wow, the nerve (and stupidity) of some people. Poverty of the mind is what she has. But the gall! Like the man who killed his parents and expects mercy because he's an orphan.
Well, after she put it that way, I'm a lot more sympathetic to her cause! /sarc
People can justify anything given enough excuses.
Exactly right. Poverty of the mind and magical thinking could get Bernie or worse elected. People who can’t think beyond their next meal have no concept of the future or consequences. They want stuff and they want it now.
Å“Yes, I may have a Gucci bag or a pair of Cartier (glasses), but I don’t have any money for an emergency.
Surely we have a pic of this fine principal.
What is it with commie lib DemocRATS? They all seem to avoid paying “their fair share”. The government needs to throw their asses in jail the way they throw Americans in jail who don’t pay their taxes.
“Yes, I may have a Gucci bag and a pair of Cartier glasses, but let the peasants eat cake,” said Kenyetta Antoinette.
Ms. Wilbourn obviously flunked her critical thinking class.
No,wait. Let me guess. But I don’t have to, do I?
Her first name is Kenyatta . :-)

“Raging sense of entitlement”. I coined that phrase. She fits it to a T.
You wouldn’t want me to jumping to conclusions,now? That would be waaaaaacist.
I like that. Stealing it. Tip of the hat
“That would be waaaaaacist.”
