A VERY MODEST IDEA --- The Detroit teachers are on strike. The school board wants them to take cuts in wages. Here's a modest proposal. Why doesn't the teachers' union declare itself a wholly owned subsidiary of HALLIBURTON, and then apply to the government for a no-bid contract. They'll get whatever they want.

Excellent idea - no one teaching in Detroit should ever have to take a pay cut, for goodness' sake. They deserve combat pay for showing up to overcrowded, under-supplied classrooms every day.

Thank you,anysara.

Because we Americans have our priorities crooked, we have conditions like Halliburton contracts, dismal classrooms, and a shortage of really good teachers. Can we hope that things will improve? I often wonder.
