Sex acts by Otis Mathis a terrible example to kids | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:
We are asked the question so much that it becomes overwhelming: What the heck is wrong with Detroit?
But if we want people to stop asking the question, then we need to stop being the Detroit that begs it.
Take, for instance, the latest scandal connected to the Detroit Public Schools.
The debate has been over whether formerDPS board president Otis Mathis should have resigned after exhibiting horrendous behavior and poor judgment.
Mathis quit after admitting to "inappropriate actions" with his hand between his legs behind his desk while the district's female superintendent sat opposite him trying to have a conversation.

He expressed deep regret and then, inexplicably, asked for his resignation back, buoyed by the comments of fellow board member Reverend David Murray, who dismissed the behavior of the 55-year-old Mathis this way: 
"He's a young man; maybe he didn't know it was offensive to her ... That's just the way it is."

What THE hell?! "He's a young man?!"
