The American Civil Liberties Union says the US state of Michigan and the
Highland Park School District failed to properly educate the state's
children. The accusation has prompted a class-action law suit -
the first of its kind, says hundreds of students from the Detroit-area
district are functionally illiterate, and are not reading well enough
for their age. The school district has not responded to the legal
action and already facing an $11 million deficit, and so the problem
may not be corrected anytime soon. Al Jazeera's Scott Heidler explains.
