And speaking of Detroit, look at what the privatizers affiliated with the Eli Broad Academy are trying to do with the schools:
The alliance to completely dismantle the Detroit Public School system is rapidly growing, including both foes and ostensible friends.
Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm’s DPS czar Robert Bobb has announced that Detroit’s children can expect to see at least 50 more schools close in the coming year, accompanied by thousands of lay-offs, to offset an alleged $306 million deficit.
“The unions aren’t involved so far in discussions on the closing process,” Phil Schloop, Business Agent for Operating Engineers International Union Local 547, said. “We know schools are going to have to close, because we are losing another 10,000 students, but we must maximize our retention and offer programs that will attract Detroit students.”
