Mitch Albom proves once again he's a piece of shit

Post by MWmetalhead » Sun Jul 07, 2019 1:25 pm

Mitch Albom should immediately issue a retraction if not an outright apology of his ridiculously misguided column regarding two girls - who God forbid - used their graduation speeches to raise very legitimate concerns that their poorly run school failed to address despite parents & students making prior attempts to compel school management to make improvements.

Here is the Freep's original article regarding the critical graduation speeches (which were also reported on by multiple other mainstream media outlets in the region):

https://www.freep.com/story/news/educat ... 381474001/


Now, here is Mitch Albom's incredibly misguided column. One would think he would make an effort to more fully understand the FACTS underlying the situation before denigrating the brave students who chose to "speak up" :

https://www.freep.com/story/sports/colu ... 465469001/

Now comes word that in EARLY JULY, the school in question *still* has not delivered transcripts to its graduating students. Every other school in the state seems to have little to no issue delivering transcripts to universities and colleges by June, yet we're now sitting in July, and University Academy evidently hasn't delivered a single transcript.

Funny how the administrators are such COWARDS they refuse to appear on camera or directly answer questions from the media.

Yet, Mitchie Boy will excuse their outrageous behavior while lecturing & condemning the students who are merely attempting to shed light on it.

Hey Mitch - write any fallacious sports articles lately? :rolleyes

Here is the article appearing in the Free Press today:
https://www.freep.com/story/news/educat ... 664709001/

The students should file a class action lawsuit against the school, its ownership, and its administrators.

I will say some of Freep's Facebook commenters are far bigger pieces of shit than Albom; the amount of blatant racism on the comment page is very disheartening.

Graduation speeches are not the times to call out admin or anyone for that matter. With that being said, Mitch is a twat

I haven't paid attention to Mitch in years. Not his show or his writing. But glancing at this column I tend to agree with him and most of his points.

Given the severity of the school's malfeasance, I think as much light needs to be shed on the issues as possible. Therefore, I think highlighting the issues as part of graduation speeches is fair game.

But hey, let's be nice and take the low key approach instead. That has worked soooooo well. That was tried. It got ZERO results.

The students and their families are customers of the school. Customers have a right to complain about terrible service.

Not issuing transcripts is chicken shit; the school and its administrators need to be sued.

Just to be accurate the column was generically was about a seeming national trend and hardly specific to the Universal Academy incident.

I'd LOVE to give Albom my patented "Brady Breaker" wrestling finisher,but I'm a brawny,beefy 5'9" ,212 lb.,while Mitchie is three-feet-six. I wouldn't want to be accused of bullying,though I turned 66 Saturday !!!!

lovinlife101,this is the age of Trump,where ALL U.S. institutions,ESPECIALLY education, is to serve as tools of obedience "training," the better to serve Trump and his successors. In Detroit,As in other major U.S. cities, "schools" are a pipeline to human rights-violating for-profit jails and prison,and turn out supplicants to the casino crooks, religious mis-leaders and other vultures who feed off Detroit's (save perhaps gentrifying District Detroit and a recious few other places ) rotting carcass .

No.
Schools are just as much a left-wing propaganda arm as they ever were, pushing Trump derangement and other bullshit youd probably love.

That's mostly bullshit, Craig, and you know it.

University Academy is clearly what compelled Albom to write that column.

There is no "trend." These examples are few and far between.

Should students in WPB refuse to call out their school board for refusing to fire a high school principal who has stated he is uncertain as to whether the Holocaust occurred as widely documented? According to you and Albom, any criticism should only occur behind closed doors, right?

I remember cracking up when Jeff Moss referred to Albom as “Condescending Baggins...”

Albom is a mystery to me. I often listen simply to get a viewpoint different from my own but find myself astonished at the relative ignorance displayed by Mitch and Kenny.

I would assume that someone who has produced a long show like that for an even longer time, would have become enlightened on some level but it doesn't look like that is the case.

Mitch is kinda' dumb.

I wish WJR would kick Bitch Albom out the door but I don't expect that to happen even if Hell freezes over.
