Whoever the 8th grader was who taught 7th and 8th grade math when they couldn't find a teacher deserves a scholarship when he/she graduates just for that display of character.

U.S. Court: Detroit students have no right to access to literacy
On Friday, dumped out with the least desirable news of the week came word that a lawsuit arguing that Detroit students were being denied an education had been dismissed.
Last year, the state moved for dismissal, arguing that the 14th Amendment contains no reference to literacy.
Then, last week, U.S. District Judge Stephen Murphy III agreed with the state.
Literacy is important, the judge noted. But students enjoy no right to access to being taught literacy. All the state has to do is make sure schools run. If they are unable to educate their students, that's a shame, but court rulings have not established that "access to literacy" is "a fundamental right."
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

You can't have a democracy without a literate society, a robust middle class and a free press. The REASON for the development of the public school system was to teach immigrants to speak English and read and write.
The court should be ashamed that they know so little about our history.

The United States is one of the only countries on the planet that has not ratified the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which recognized a person's fundamental right to an education. Even Iran has ratified it. Yep, that's right... the Islamic Republic of Iran is more progressive on recognizing a human right to education than the United States.
It is actually remarkable that a lot of people in this country believe they have a right to horde military-style assault rifles, but children do not have a right to an adequate education. Having worked tangentially on a state level human right to clean water initiative, I actually got some good insights into the widespread. hostility to these types of social, economic, and cultural rights - hostility that is particularly ubiquitous in the Reich Wing.
You know what it basically comes down to? The cheap skate Reich Wing does not want to run a perceived risk of being obligated, being on the hook, to pay for water and education for poor people.
It's every man for himself, folks!
