In an effort to cut $200 million from the city's budget, Detroit's emergency financial manager is taking an aggressive stance against the teacher's union, issuing 5,466 layoff notices. Alisyn spoke to the union's president, Keith Johnson, about whether the city and its public school employees will be able to come to an agreement before the next school year.

  • Republicans are absolute pieces of shit. Excuse my vulgarity, but is there any other term that truly applies ? Democrats may not live up to their ideals, but Republicans are the enemies of average Americans. Economic shock doctrine in action. Cut taxes for the super-wealthy owning class until all services are starving. The artificial financial crisis becomes real. Then declare a need for Emergency Laws. This happened in Europe in the 30s, and South America for a century. USA's turn I guess.

  • Detroit's system is shit, so it's no big loss. In fact, they should just switch to a 100% charter school and/or backpack system. (And I don't want to hear any bullshit about how that would be "much worse" than what they have now!) A lot of people say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Well, in Detroit's case, "It's completely broke, so they should trash it."
