====Detroit and a lack of education====
====Detroit and a lack of education====
[[Detroit]], [[Michigan]], already a poster child for everything wrong with liberalism, had a high school academy suspend 50 students for staging a walkout. The reason: they ''demanded'' an [[education]]. Douglass Academy - ironically named for a [[Frederick Douglass|former slave]] who did everything he could to get an education - suffers from teachers who abuse sick leave (one was deliberately absent 68 days); a principal reassigned by the board; grades merely for showing up to class; and a listless student body who while away time in the gym or cafeteria due to the absent teachers. The result: Douglass Academy is among the worst performing urban schools in the country.<ref>http://wchbnewsdetroit.com/2403275/detroits-frederick-douglass-academy-protest-students-suspended-after-demanding-an-education-video/</ref><ref>http://www.freep.com/article/20120330/NEWS01/203300409/Douglass-Academy-walkout-earns-suspensions-for-about-50-high-schoolers?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|FRONTPAGE|s</ref><ref>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/30/detroit-high-school-prote_n_1392436.html</ref>
