Bankrupt long ago

According to Amber Arellano, the Detroit Public School district "is teetering on the verge of bankruptcy." This isn’t quite true. A business exists for one sole purpose – make money. When it fails to do that, bankruptcy results. On the other hand, DPS’s sole purpose is to educate children. By this standard, DPS went bankrupt decades ago.
