Robert Bobb 2.0: Consolidate districts to Detroit-Wayne Regional Schools

[bailey]

Why is it that the solution so often proposed here is to 'grow' Detroit... either by physical boundary [[annexation) or by ridiculous proposals such as this one when the clear facts show that if anything, Detroit should be massively shrunk at all levels? A new revenue stream to skim off of by corrupt halfwits and unfit parents like Reverend David Murray is not a solution. Screaming 'racism' at resistance to this asinine proposal is just as ridiculous as the proposal itself. One of the few things keeping property values in most of the suburbs from going into outright Detroit style free fall, is the quality of the schools, the delivery of services, and the local control over both.

But, actually, I hope that those pushing this proposal [[if anyone actually is..) are successful in their attempt to unite all of Wayne county ...perhaps even the tri-county area under one school district and services provider. It would, at least, bring closure and finality to the region. The death spiral would be complete because the amount of divestment and destruction of stable suburban communities that would come from giving Reverand David Murray and the grape throwing mobs the final say over the schools there would be epic.
