A group of students and former students from Detroit's only high school for pregnant teens and young mothers is suing the school, its charter operator and Detroit Public Schools, alleging the girls' civil rights are being violated because their educational requirements are not being met. More than a dozen students and former students from Catherine Ferguson Academy as well as some parents and one CFA teacher together filed a lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court in Detroit against charter school operator Blair Evans and his company, Blanche Kelso Bruce Academy. Blanche Kelso manages the academy, which offers on-site child care.One of the all time great moments of public education! No word yet on this story from Barack Obama who views Catholic education as divisive as opposed to public education.
