DETROIT PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM: Governor needs to step in...


Once again I have to write about the idiotic shenanigans between Robert Bobb, the emergency financial manager of the Detroit Public School System and the elected Detroit School Board.

I have already pointed out that the board is not only corrupt and incompetent but some of its members have been shown to be ILLITERATE and they recently took Bobb to court to wrest control of academic matters from him. Specifically they want to be the ones that appoint the superintendent, teachers and administrators, which to me is control over personnel.

A local judge agreed with the school board and told Bobb to only concern himself with the financial aspects of the Detroit Public School system.

I have said before that the law is unclear on this issue and the governor or the legislature needs to make it perfectly clear that the emergency financial manager is dictator over the whole bloody mess that is the Detroit Public School system; this legal wrangling is absurd and wasteful when money is in such short supply.

Since many Detroit teachers and administrators were found to be plain crooks, stealing money and equipment from the system or basically from the poor kids in the system, allowing the school board, who appointed many of these crooks, to do so again is absolutely ludicrous…and yet, here we go again…the board needs to be disbanded and the state take over the whole bloody mess, otherwise the corrupt culture that seems so ingrained in Detroit will never be eradicated.
