Praying Mathis: Detroit School Board President Asks to Retract Resignation After Scandal

We have been following the continuing scandals and criminal indictments of Detroit leaders. Now, we can add Detroit School Board President, Otis Mathis. Mathis is accused of fondling himself during meetings with Superintendent Theresa Gueyser. He apologized for his conduct, promised to seek help, and then resigned. He is now seeking to rescind his resignation.

Gueyser says that Mathis touched and fondled his private parts repeatedly in meetings between the two of them, including unzipping his pants.

He quickly sought to retract his resignation. However, given accounts of his conduct in prior meetings, it is not clear who would want to attend a meeting with him to discuss the issue.

There is an investigation into the allegations.
