   Angry beyond words.

   Has anyone seen this Maddow segment on the Catherine Ferguson Acadamy For Young Women?

   It is a school designed to help young mothers and mothers-to-be continue their education. With a severe lack of funding, they turned to growing a garden on the school property to raise money.

   The girls bring their kids to school because we don’t have anyone else to watch them,” said Matthews. “What else are we going to do? Ninety percent of our students graduate, and most of them go on to two and four year colleges.” (via)

   A consequence of the financial martial law controversy in Detroit is that this school is on the chopping block.

   The community was not able to have a say in whether or not this school could be closed.

   There is no democratic action that is playing a part in deciding these student’s fate.

   Some of the students organized a protest and were arrested.

   “I had sat down, and he yanked me up and slammed me down on my stomach on the floor,” Matthews said. “All the girls went berserk, telling him to get off me, but he was just wiping up the floor with me. He pressed his thumbs in my neck, and he tightened the handcuffs so hard that I have bruises there. I cried at first but then I made myself stop.”

   You can sign your support for these girls here.

   When I signed you only needed 79 more to reach their goal.  Get on it!

    72 to go!

   Please reblog and sign! This is absolutely horrifying. And infuriating. And disgusting. And so very many things.

   We should have schools like this in every city in America. Detroit is awesome for giving this incredible opportunity to young parents. Michigan’s “financial martial law” thing is just an abomination.

   I signed the petition.

   signal boost, signing right now. 

   Reblog, NOW!
