The Detroit Federation of Teachers, its umbrella group and several parents slapped the city's school district with a lawsuit today over the mold, rodents and other issues in dilapidated schools, saying the poor conditions seriously threaten students' health.

They are asking a judge to force the district to fix the problems and boot out state-appointed emergency manager Darnell Earley.

DFT: "The state had its chance to show whether it can run a major school system. It failed miserably, and it’s time to give up the reins of power."

DFT gave away their case. This has nothing to do with education, and everything to do with power.
Your school has a problem -- DFT has the answer -- give us more power -- and remove those who get in our way.

There isn't a solution to urban education that we like -- except us. No Charters for you. No state-run districts for you. Send us even more cash.

Oh, Detroit Federation of Teachers! I thought the Detroit Film Theatre was suing DPS.....
