I think the school board is trying to use colloway as a scapegoat. i remember back when i went to dps schools, the prinipals used to tell the teachers to mark students present who were not there that day,or had not been their in a long period.so at least some of colloway's allegations are true. |

She sure ripped them a new one last night. Couldn't believe one school board member wondered if she could sue Calloway for slander. Truth is the best defense so that gal probably doesn't have a leg to stand on. |

You know, there certainly seems to be a great presence of Feds investigations in various aspects of Detroit governance and the school board. What I'd like to know is when are they going to finally do their job and bring charges on all these corrupt city and school board officials? It's about time for the Feds to put up or shut up. |

Detroit voters should try and not elect to the school board retarded, child neglectors who like to play pretend and dress up like a clergyman. |

The paper reported that a camera crew from "Dan Rather Reports" covered the meeting. Prepare for another black eye for the City. |

I can confirm that Dan Rather Reports is doing a very in-depth story on DPS corruption. |

Let me guess how the Dan Rather piece will go:
Audio: Wind blowing, Fade in(looking out of Jane Cooper school, through broken window to urban parrie beyond}
Cut to (low angle of hallway strewn with books and difting snow)
Cut to ( close up of child's drawing left dangling from corkboard)
Voice over: Detroit, The Motor City, once the muscle in Uncle Sam's bicep is dying, one school at a time.
Cut to (stock footage of prosterous Detroit circa 1958)
Voice Over: Once the home to 2 million, the city with more cars and more single family homes than any place else in the world, is now a struggling to sustain a intrastructure built for 2 million but now supported by only 850,000.
...
anyone else what to pick up from there? |

The DPS drank the Kool-aid a long time ago. The only good thing Engler did as Gov. was to take over the DPS, too bad the populus of the City drank the same Kool-aid and allowed the idiots to reclaim the board.
Why is it that every politician in Detroit is a total idiot? Look at the idiots on the Council and the vote they rendered on Cobo. Corruption is now the norm and there is no agency to check them, and the members of Council have Jedi Mind Tricked the popluation of Detroit with their shouts of racism. How can the entire state north of Eight Mile Road be racist? What jerks. |

Dan Rather was inside of CMA a few weeks back. He needs to come to one of the schools that is NOT a school of choice to see what's really going on. |
