Cathryn Ferguson High School - A Detroit Public school for pregnant / mothering students.

Rachel does a great job (as always) of highlighting this wonderful asset, and the threats coming from the right.



(on edit) Rachel uses the last half of this episode to highlight the Progressive Caucus budget proposal, contrasts it with Ryan's plan.... and asks why this budget isn't the one getting the coverage.

1. I saw Rachel's coverage
That any human being would actively tear down the beauty and generosity this school is all about is cruel and unusual.

"conservatives" bitch about fucking welfare queens and then take aggressive steps to make more of them!

For God's sake, what they are DOING is inhuman!

2. Pregnant Teens With A Glimmer Of Hope
shining in their futures just got snuffed as they were hauled off to the "gulag".

4. You'd think the Right-To-Life crowd would be clamoring for more of these
high schools.

6. Per the late Molly Ivans
"conservatives" aren't Pro-life. They are Pro-birth.
After that, you is on your own, sucka!

5. You really can't expect any other result...
...than the police removing them from the building but it did bring attention to the situation.

Also the emergency manager of Detroit Puplic Schools drooling comment was pretty crass
but I can see where he needs to bypass the school board.

7. Yes, I expect other results. I see a need to repair any "dysfunctional" government bodies....
....not replace them with corporate dictators.

Edited on Sat Apr-23-11 08:23 AM by Stuart G
f**k local government, it is removed. period.

It is about dictatorhip of the right. period.
It is not about change, or controlling costs..
I taught in a school like this once..and it was successful.
So they discontinuted it due to costs..


Anyone who supports the governor, on this, for
any reason, is a right wing troll..idiot..ass****..

12. Detroit schools
have been failing for years, school boards have changed and there hasn't been any improvement.
I will have to say with the exception of this school for moms, that does sound like something to keep.

10. Too sad
These are mostly land grabs from ReTHUGS. They don't give a shit about people. This entire privatization project is about stealing public property.
