Why waste time with stupid stuff like learning and planning a future when you can just strut around town in your $300 tennis shoes and your pants hanging off your knees, listening to the latest rap song ‘bout slappin’ dem bitches and ho’s around. I mean, dat’s where it is, right?
...how much money is Michigan dumping in to education again?

First, you're thinking of Dearborn. I believe the Dearborn Public Schools are more than 74% ethnic Arab. Second, don't kid yourself about the Arab population surrounding Detroit being stupid - they aren't, at all. The three public high schools in the Dearborn area perform WAY above the national public school averages - WAY above. And, all of their dropout rates are very, very low - again, significantly below national averages, and WAY below the MI average.
The Detroit Public School system, OTOH, is a disaster. I read several years ago that its graduation rate was below 30% - think about that - only 3 in 10 students graduate from high school, if that.
just wait until they check chicago...
Probably twice, or more.
Mexicans work but the welfare class just sit on there ass..
In othwer news a recent study found that 267% of Detroiters voted in the 2008 elections.

Thanks to the NEA and Liberals.
We’ve elected a secretary of state with zero tolerance for fraud.
