    Protests Erupt In Detroit! 50 students suspended

    Detroit High School Protest: Students Suspended After Demanding 'An Education'
    "We've been wronged and disrespected and lied to and cheated," senior Tevin Hill told the Detroit Free Press. "They didn't listen to us when we complained to the administration. They didn't listen to the parents when they complained to the administration, so I guess this is the only way to get things solved."
    Good for them! However, just because a teacher has been out for a long time doesn't necessarily constitute "absenteeism". But it's good to see that parents every once in a while give a shit.

    Where is the Teachers Union? Why aren't they making sure fellow proffesionals rise to the expectations and high standards set by the union and educate those kids?

    Another example of decades of Democrat rule and Unions that don't care about anything but more money.

    Ran across this article recently. I wonder if OWS realizes this?

    12% of US Millionaires Are Educators (Video) - HUMAN EVENTS

    The report also broke down today’s millionaires by occupation and former occupation if retired. Managers make up the largest group, with 17%, followed by educators (12%), corporate executives (7%), entrepreneur/business owners (6%) and attorneys and accounts

    You are making the same mistake as Obama.
    Almost everyone I know is a millionaire; so what?
    How is that established?
    Certainly not by salary alone.
    People have assets and some people save every discretionary penny they have until, or even way into, retirement.
    Being a millionaire is easy, running a successful business is not easy.

    Re educator/millionaires, I forget where I read that the most common profession for a spouse of an executive/manager is teacher. So Mr Workaholic puts in major hours, racks up bonuses and possibly stock options, then hopefully retires before he dies of a heart attack after a life of 25 hr/day stress, leaving a rich, former-teacher widow.

    Re the OP, it's good to see students protesting for something worthwhile for a change!
    Today's forecast: Government corruption.
    Tomorrow's forecast: 100% chance of more 'politics as usual'

    Maybe it's finally time to vote Libertarian
