okay this is an old news story

So this is not a new story, but its a good video and I just finished a paper on school segregation for Intl Human Rights class and I was thinking about the crisis in U.S. schools as compounded by Katrina. Some highlights:

71 Millions!!! dollars is federal money unaccounted for in the NOLA schools BEFORE Katrina.
Someone on paid leave for 35 years. omg.
Some years parents had to send toilet paper to school with their kids since the schools didn't have any.
