So, Robert Bobb, the EFM for Detroit has announced that 18 schools will close or be taken over by Charters......wow, anyone shocked? NOT BUT they have said the teacher's will be NON-UNION. If people don't open their eyes to see what's happening in Detroit as a possibility all around the state, we are in deep trouble!!!!! So apparently we'll become a big old charter school state. To this special education teacher, that scares me. Charter schools do NOT have to accept special education students.....


Manditory drug testing for all state employees in Florida every three months, Financial Martial Law in Michigan and Mackinaw Center demands all e-mails of the labor studies faculty at The University of Michigan, Wayne State University and Michigan State that includes the words Scott Walker, Wisconsin, Madison or Maddow. - March 30, 2011

The higher tax base communities...and the school districts with good fiscal managers who looked ahead years ago; can absorb a lot of these massive cuts. Softening the blow a lot more... than most can.... But for the schools we all know who do not have the tax base or the property values to come close to handling these cuts to their schools; they will be decimated by this. And that's probably what Rick is doing. It's being done on purpose to cut and dismantle the poorer and less fortunate cities and districts, through NO FAULT of their own, they have seen reductions in populations and thus property values because of another conservatives economic policies. (Wallstreet housing meltdown) What this does is actually CREATE a vastly more serious problem, then Rick can assign one of his "Emergency Team" staffs to move in and get busy doing what he has been sent up there to do. Set up corporate Charters in place of publicly run (see Unions) districts. ---- Everyone needs to start spreading the word. Explain to your skeptical friends about the consequences of what this new Governor has done. "America is not broke!" And Michigan is not broke. But if we allow a governor to MAKE it broke, on the excuse of the budget balancing act; then all of us will suffer. And worse; our children will suffer.
