Detroit Schools Shuttered by Teacher "Sickout" over Mold, Infestations
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Detroit, Michigan, most public schools are shuttered today after
teachers staged a "sickout" to protest the state's inaction over black
mold, rat infestations, crumbling buildings and inadequate staffing.
Detroit teachers say they have up to 45 or 50 students in some
classrooms.
