Education Failure - 60 Kids or an Ex-Con?

$586,000

That's what the Detroit Free Press reports was spent by the Detroit Public Schools to hire the ex-convict brother of a school official for a public relations campaign that had dubious success.

That money is the equivalent to the revenue Detroit receives from ALL SOURCES to educate 60 students for a year.

60 kids... ex-convict brother of school official... hmmm. Rehabilitation is fine, but.... Well, the kids wouldn't have paid attention in class anyway, so what's the difference? Ya, sure.

This is just another symptom of the corruption and malaise that permeates Detroit. Any questions about why people are leaving?
