Peter Karmanos, Compuware founder & boss to Kwame Kilpatrick, tells why Detroit schools are failing

http://www.freep.com/article/20090423/NEWS01/90423027/?imw=Y

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.�

Using the same logic and reasoning, I believe Detroit schools are failing due to global warming.
