A few hours ago I wrote about the Detroit Public Schools and their pork Stimulus grant to spend $49 Million dollars of our tax dollars on a bunch of laptops for their lil' snowflakes.
Thanks to reader Amazed, I learn this -- from the Detroit Free Press:
DPS says teacher tried to pawn school laptopI think the word "Moron" is entirely appropriate here. And these are the kinds of people responsible for guaranteeing that our children are able to function in an adult world? What kind of congenital idiots would allow these people in such a position of power. A Teachers Union maybe? Fscking morons all of them... And of course, this represents a target rich environment to some people:
Detroit Public Schools officials say they have suspended a Durfee Elementary School teacher who allegedly tried to pawn her district-owned laptop computer at one of the biggest, most popular pawnshops in Detroit.
The DPS Office of the Inspector General investigation said Karen Drysdale-Oriucci, a DPS teacher since 1994, went to American Jewelry and Loan on Greenfield Road on Wednesday to pawn the netbook computer she received from the district on Dec. 17.
Store staff refused to pay the teacher for the netbook �- which is engraved with the DPS �I�m In� logo on its cover -� instead confiscating it and contacting DPS officials.
Drysdale-Oriucci was suspended Thursday with pay, pending a disciplinary hearing.
DPS Emergency Financial Manager Robert Bobb commended the owners of American Jewelry and Loan for refusing the sale and reporting the teacher to authorities.
