Detroit’s Teachers Want You to See These Disturbing Photos of Their Toxic Schools


Detroit’s students are trying to learn while breathing in black mold and sitting in classrooms filled with buckets catching toilet water leaking through the ceiling. And that’s not even the worst part.

Republican Governor Rick Snyder is not only using the financial emergency management laws to poison children in Flint; he’s doing the same thing in Detroit via the public school system, which the state has controlled for the last seven years. Darnell Earley, the same emergency manager who oversaw the changes in Flint’s water system, is currently in charge of Detroit’s public schools.

We need to be teaching civics in school because there are a lot of people unaware of how state/local/federal government actually work and who is in charge of what.
