Is It Any Wonder that Detroit's Schools Are So Screwed Up?

Look at this paragraph from a story in theblogprof about the former Detroit School Board President Otis Mathis:

Briefly though, Mathis was a D-student in high school, went to Wayne State University in a program for the academically unqualified, sued for his degree because he couldn't pass a basic English test, became a community organizer, and eventually was unanimously elected President of the School Board despite his being unqualified (just like our Community Organizer-In-Chief) including being functionally illiterate. On June 17, Mathis handed in his letter of resignation, undoubtedly written by someone else, after it was revealed that he had a habit of masturbating in front of school Superintendent Teresa Gueyser.

Maybe this guy needs to start talking about global warming. Sounds like he'd fit right in with Al Gore.
