In my opinion, the Clowncil is too demanding. They have a qualified person, willing to be paid a minimal salary [[he must love his work and be totally dedicated), and they turn their backs on him because of where he lives. It didn't matter that Strickland devoted 26 years of his working life to Detroit and he probably lived in the City many more years than that.

I am sure there are qualified people in Detroit who could do the job but did any of them apply for it? So, instead of getting a bigger bang for their buck, Clowncil will pick through some applications until they find someone less qualified, possibly a felon, to teach these kids....they will do that with police applications, fire applications, etc. As far as I'm concerned they don't care about Detroit, it's residents, the young people, good services, etc. They are all grandstanding, posturing, taking a stand...for what?
