Printed: Students Demanding an Education

"I want the kids [that are] under me, I want them to be able to have the education that we were supposed to have that we didn't get." - Detroit Public Schools Senior

"About 50 students were suspended Thursday from the all-boys Frederick Douglass Academy in Detroit, Mich. for walking out of classes in protest, demanding 'an education.' Among their complaints: a lack of consistent teachers, the reassignment of the school principal, educators who abuse sick time and a shortage of textbooks. One math teacher, parent Sharise Smith tells WJBK-TV, has been absent for more than 68 days." - HuffPuff

Wow.  This is when you know it's bad.  Good for them.
