Residents Give MPS (Milwaukee) Takeover Plan An F At Hearing
The F is for "Fuck you arne duncan" and your mayoral control, you prick.

Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett say a mayoral takeover is necessary to close the state's racial achievement gap and to compete for federal Race to the Top school funding.

But at a hearing on the idea at the MPS administration building, opponents stressed that a mayoral takeover was not a prerequisite for the funding and said neither Doyle nor Barrett has specified how mayoral control would work.

Others said a takeover would merely mean a takeover of parental and voter rights.

"Democracy, alone, has to be an argument against this," former board member Jennifer Morales said.
