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.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.
While spending bond money on art is not illegal, it is highly unusual.
