The state went bankrupt ... Even their medical plan has no money. Doctors have to wait 52-54 weeks to receive payment for services because the state has no money. ( most medical plans are self funded in the USA - the employer sets aside money to pay bills and the insurance company just administers and processes claims to make payment from these accounts)

Actually the city of Detroit went bankrupt. Not Michigan

They built a new state of the art school in 2006, so this one was no longer needed. The bankruptcy had nothing to do with it, check out the article and more pictures: http://www.boredpanda.com/abandoned-detroit-school-then-and-now/

As someone who isn't American and somehow completely missed the whole Detroit thing, what happened???? (Sorry for my ignorance.)

They fell apart during the global recession and was abandoned. I didn't know what happened since I'm not American either, so I asked my dad who knows about his stuff and is right next to me.

The bankrupt was mostly caused by corrupt political leaders

And that is what happens when you trust the auto industry. My town used to be called Little Detroit... looks like big Detroit followed suit.

The auto business is alive and booming. But GM, the major auto business in Detroit went bankrupt. Since a lot of people have jobs there, a lot of people got let off. Unemployment went up, money to the state went down. And lickety split, you're bankrupt

The saddest part is that now there is nothing... what used to be Cass Tech high school is now an empty lot.

Actually the school was abandoned after a fire destroyed most of the buliding. The school was relocated across the city

Actually this is the OLD Cass tech.... I went there and recognize most of the classrooms and gym... They rebuilt the school right next door to it and this building is now torn down....

Yeah, and their building of more functional and workable schools that can house more students... Who do they think they are?

It doesn't matter how many students the schools can hold if the kids already know that big brother will give them my families money no matter what.

Everyone pays a tax for public education- I pay it too even though I currently have no children going to a public school. I am okay with that, though, because I want my country to have an educated majority. Terrible things happen when ignorance takes hold...

I'm not talking about education tax, I'm talking bout welfare. I don't know about you, but I've seen it handed to way more lazy people than needy people.

What does that have to do with these kids and their new school?
