Education in Michigan must embrace the possible

Rochelle Riley:

As we debate Gov. Rick Snyder's proposed budget and whether his constituents can survive it, we should note what the late French essayist Joseph Joubert said: "The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress."

That should apply to how we spend tax money. And at risk of death threats, I want us to converse more about education spending.

I find it curious and heartbreaking that whenever a governor proposes cuts to schools, the first outcry is what it will cost the kids.

Why pick on the kids first?
