The unanimous decision to re-install the name of Dr. Ethene Crockett High School of Science and Technology was a result of an elected school board acting upon a request from their employers to do so. The installation of the Ben Carson name in 2011 was unauthorized by Detroit residents without our consent by former Governor Rick Snyder, Attorney General Bill Schuette and, emergency manager Roy Roberts.

| The People Agreed, that Mrs. Crockett is the one we need! |
The people spoke loud and clear to say how angry we are about how her name was removed by politicians in Lansing who did not give a
damn about the Detroit Public Schools. Under their management people
drank dirty water in Flint, higher taxes were levied on retirees and, education dollars
were used to pay off grifters at the expense of Detroit children. For example, DPS
schools like Benjamin Davis Aerospace were gutted to create for profit charter
schools in Grand Rapids to the detriment of the neighborhood.
The Crockett family has a proven track record regarding her family’s
contribution to the quality of life for the community. By re-installing Dr Crockett’s
legacy to the Detroit Public Schools System, our citizens vow to repair the
damage from 10 years of mismanagement from Lansing. The only objection to the
restoration is coming from commentators on Fox “News”, people who do not live
in the City of Detroit or, associate grifters who live in the city that lack a
sense of community.
Who cares about the 55 former HUD employees that he hired writing
a letter of support for him. Who cares
about Dr. Alveda King in Atlanta, Sean Hannity and the rest of that clown car
of hosts on Fox News crying in their beer with their childish insults about the City of Detroit. Given the quality of the candidates that they
support, the children of the Detroit Public School system would make better
politicians than the people they endorse now from Donald Trump on down.
The fact is that under emergency management by Governor Rick Snyder, organizations
like the Educational Achievement Authority that was imposed upon the Detroit Public School System got the attention of the FBI to investigate Chancellor John Covington for racketeering and fraud. As of this printing, no one was ever convicted of a crime, even though they should have,
Our children deserve better role models than Ben Carson, whose endorsement of Herschel Walker for a United States
Senator in Georgia was the ultimate insult to the United States of America,
especially African Americans with any sense of integrity. We cannot and, will not allow our
children to be misled by outside interests who do not have the best interest of
our children’s future.
Therefore, we will take back our school system one building
at a time by endorsing new legislation in Lansing that will refinance
our schools, pay our teachers and, bring out the best in our DPSCD students.
Finally, the family of Dr. Crockett, alumni and, supporters, want to thank the members of the Detroit Public School
Board Community District and Superintendent Nikolai Vitti for supporting our choice with your unanimous vote to restore
our queen, Dr. Ethelene Crockett to the High School of Science and Technology
in Detroit Michigan.
