    Ah, I see. So just because you oppose the undemocratic privateer who wants to mostly privatize the schools with a minimum of community input, that means you must think everything before was jim dandy. This is pure sophistry.

    "undemocratic privateer" =Emergency Financial Manager as defined in, appointed pursuant to, and acting with the authority described within MCL 141.11201 et seq.

    yeah, no sophism there.

    The community had its input for many years. its input is the reason Bobb had to be appointed.

    Reductive reasoning may make you feel swell, but, really, talking about good vs. evil seldom produces the nuanced discussion that gets at the truth. And that's called sophistry.

    Detroit has been starved of capital, educated residents, business and tax revenue for so long, of course nobody ever expected anybody to fix it. Not the people, not the state when it stepped in, and now: Not Bobb. Instead he just wants to turn it into a moneymaking operation for his pals. Just as bad, just as dysfunctional, but much more profitable.

    Those are the facts. Don't like the facts? Argue the law. Oh, you already did.

    and when you don't have the facts or the law on your side you pound the table.....oh god the irony it buuuuurns. Any other straw men you want to rail against? L Brooks have a hand in this too?
