Protesting Detroit Students Arrested
Andrew Norton
32 Mackenzie High School students were arrested or "detained" on Wednesday during a protest of the school's conditions. About 200 students staged a walkout yesterday afternoon to draw attention to the school's poor conditions and supposed lack of textbooks. The protest turned ugly with students reportedly began swearing and blocking traffic. The article in the Detroit News has more details on the alleged conditions of the school. I hope that these conditions do not really exist. I also hope that it is not the students bringing this upon themselves by destroying school property and textbooks as the school's principal, Bernard Bonam, believes.
