Fascism Comes to Michigan

and probably to a state near you in the near future. This is just beyond the pale:

There will be school in Muskegon Heights this fall, but it will look very different.

Late last Friday afternoon, Don Weatherspoon, Muskegon Heights’s appointed Emergency Manager (EM), announced his plan to turn the school district into the first charter school district in Michigan. He is taking bids from private companies and is expected to award the job on June 6.

Earlier in the week, teachers were notified they were being laid off and could reapply for their jobs. Now, however, they’ve been told they are terminated and their jobs sold off to the lowest bidder.

This was the district where they were looking for teachers to work for 20k a year. That is about what I made at a private school over ten years ago.

There better be lawsuits and repeal of this draconian law that basically allows a fascist to come in and take over a district.
