Quote:GOP Gov. Snyder’s office says Detroit school kids have no right to literacy
Quote:The state of Michigan is being sued because several schools in Detroit are failing to teach children how to read, and Gov. Rick Snyder’s team of lawyers has come up with a novel defense.
According to local news station CBS Detroit, Gov. Snyder’s attorneys are claiming that children who are taught within the state’s school systems have no fundamental right to literacy, which means that the state isn’t liable if its schools fail to educate them.
So, I guess in Flint that people have no right to use a municipal water system and expect it to be free of lead?
Does Michigan not understand that they can lose their Title IV funding for their schools if this shit continues? I guess stupid is as stupid does.
