Detroit School System Files Injunction to Stop Teacher "Sickout" Protests
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Detroit's public schools were closed Wednesday amid teacher protests
over black mold, rat infestations, crumbling buildings and overcrowded
classrooms. We'll have more on the Detroit Public Schools later in the
broadcast.
