... Peter Karmanos, Compuware founder & new boss to Kwame Kilpatrick.

Yes, THAT Kwame Kilpatrick.

Listen to him tell his audience why Detroit schools are failing...

Karmanos said the sorry state of the city’s schools is one of the failures that is fueling the lack of regionalism in the metro area.

“When I went to school in Detroit, it was one of the best districts in the nation and the teachers weren’t part of the union,” he said. “Today, everyone is in the union and we uniformly have poor schools throughout the region.”

I always thought the decline of the public schools was caused by the widespread use of radial tires. And, most people got their radial tires as standard equipment on new cars from DETROIT. I rest my case.
