Last January 2010 the Detroit School Board elected Otis Mathis (by a whopping 10-1 margin) as their new President. Mr. Mathis can’t read or write beyond a fourth grade level.
And he’s proud of it! Ida Byrd-Hill, a parent and activist declared that being illiterate was a great thing because it meant he could “represent the community†who couldn’t read or write themselves.
Mathis disdained to show an ounce of shame at being utterly incapable of helping school children overcome their own illiteracy. To the contrary, a shocked reporter was forced to listen to Mathis brag that he was “a role model†to those same children.

In any place outside of an asylum this is child cruelty and child neglect.
