"Somebody needs to go to jail," she said in a tearful address to 500 parents gathered Saturday for the organization's annual breakfast forum. "Somebody needs to pay for this. Somebody needs to go to jail, and it shouldn't be the kids."
Well she got that part right.

I wonder what the whole state of Michigan is going to look like in 10 years. Population/Economy wise. Pretty bleak....

Detroit Public Schools Emergency Financial Manager Robert Bobb told the crowd the test scores weren't the result of children who were incompetent or parents who didn't care.
Really? Got any proof of that? Maybe the parents ought to be home, teaching their kids this vital knowledge instead of standing around bitching that others do it.

Buckman also had harsh words for a group of teachers who are in favor of striking instead of approving a new contract that forces them to give up $500 per month or $250 per paycheck as an investment. The money will be given to the district to help plug a $219 million deficit, and it will be returned when they retire.
Fuck you, you sanctimonious bitch. Why don't you give up YOUR fucking cash? Not like these are your kids or anything.

"If they [the teachers] strike, I hope we start a homeschool movement,"
Why don't you start one now? According to you, the schools can't do jackshit. You're already the shittiest in the nation. What more reason do you need to get more directly involved? Oh yeah, you can still assemble worthless bitch-fests & whine. Let me know how that works out.

If you homeschool you still pay property taxes, so it isnt like you are teaching the school district a lesson.

The drinking water became contaminated after Flint, while under the control of a state-appointed emergency manager engaged in cost-cutting, switched from Lake Huron drinking water treated by the Detroit Water and Sewerage Company to Flint River water treated by a city treatment plant. The state Department of Environmental Quality has acknowledged it failed to require Flint to add needed corrosion control chemicals to the water, causing lead to leach into the drinking water from pipes and fixtures.
