Why are people not upset that private companies are getting money that went to public education? Why is our country so easily giving up its system of traditional public education? Why just a few parents in Detroit, and why do posts about their plight get little attention?

This is the defunding and dismantling of public schools in Detroit.

"DPS will serve as the charter authorizer for the turnaround schools, monitoring them for fiscal soundness. Under the charter plan, the state per-pupil funding of about $7,660 will go to the charter school and DPS will retain a 3% fee. DPS currently authorizes nine charter schools with MEAP tests scores that vary from poor to high."
