Detroit Public Schools paid big for art

The Detroit Free Press reports:
Detroit Public Schools spent at least $1.6 million in bond money -- funds taxpayers approved for building or repairing decaying city schools -- on professional artwork for the district.

While spending bond money on art is not illegal, it is highly unusual.
What better proof than this that public education is nothing more than a scam in certain parts of the country.Don't expect the New York Times to put this great moment in public education on page one.
