More Than 80 Detroit Schools Shuttered by Teacher "Sickout" over Conditions
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, more than 80 public schools in Detroit are closed today amid
a massive teacher "sickout" to protest the state's inaction over black
mold, rat infestations, crumbling buildings and inadequate staffing.
This comes as President Obama plans to visit Detroit later today for the
Detroit Auto Show.
