Detroit's Urban Farms: Budget Battles and Milking Goats

I wish the writer of this article had done some more research. There is a lot behind this school closing. Michigan's governer has appointed an emergency financial manager to the city of Detroit who has complete control over the city. The elected officials in the city have no power. The EFM, all by himself, decided that this school needed to be closed even though it has a 90% graduation rate with acceptance into college as a requirement. Whether or not you think these girls shouldn't have gotten pregnant, the issue is that they are and they are trying to better themselves and the lives of they're children. It's called breaking the cycle. Without this school the children will be more likely to follow in the mom's footsteps. For those that look down on these girls I pity you. What happened to compassion and helping others?
