| - Dan Rather Reports: "A National Disgrace" (Episode #617) is a two-hour television report about the Detroit Public Schools (DPS), in Detroit, Michigan, that aired on AXS TV on May 10, 2011. Presented by journalist Dan Rather, this episode was part of his investigative documentary series. It explores a political struggle between the Detroit Board of Education, the governing body of DPS, and Robert Bobb, the emergency manager appointed by the State of Michigan after the city declared bankruptcy. The filming took about 18 months and included interviews with DPS school board members, teachers and administrators, and students and parents. The production filmed a Detroit Board of Education meeting in which the board announced that superintendent Connie Calloway, who held the position for 18 months, was fired. According to Rather, the failure of DPS is a failure of a top-down educational system. He argued that the problems are related to public schools in the entire United States and are not limited to Detroit. (en)
