Most of America has managed to get on with life amid the craziest presidential election in 50 years. Sadly, this is not the case in Detroit.

There is a disagreement there between the local teachers union, the Detroit Federation of Teachers, and the emergency manager of the local school district. It centers on educational funds appropriated through June. The manager says funds are sufficient to pay for the district’s operations only through the end of that month. The union says they were promised the funds would pay for summer school, too.
