What's the Honor Roll, 2.3?

This from our proud Leftist friends in the People's Republic of Detroit. This is how you lose a once-great country....truly unbelievable. The welfare state has won. God help us all.

DETROIT – Detroit Public Schools is temporarily lowering its minimum grade point average for students to participate in sports, The Detroit News reports.




The current minimum GPA for student athletes is 2.0, but the school board lowered the standard to 1.67, according to the News.



The News reports that school officials hope more students will stay in school after becoming “hooked” on sports. According to The News, DPS’ dropout rate is nearly 60 percent.



The lowered GPA standard is temporary, interim Superintendent John Telford told The News, and will increase back to 2.0 on January 11.
