Restoring our Queen Dr. Ethelene Crockett on the new High School of Science and Technology by Every Means Necessary

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.

Congratulations to the NEW Detroit City Council Members 2022-2025


The Friends of George Cushingberry Jr. is extending a congratulations to:

  1. City Clerk Janice Winfrey 
  2. The six new councilmembers elected to serve the 2021 through 2025 term. 

We want to thank outgoing members Brenda Jones, Janee' Ayres, Raquel Castenada-Lopez and Roy McCallister for their service to the city. 

The people spoke with their vote on November 3, 2021 for a new direction in our city. The council gained six new members with massive legislative experience. At large members Coleman Young III, Mary Waters, district members, Fred Durhal III District 7, Gabriela Santiago-Romero District 6, Latisha Johnson District 4 and, the sharp legal mind of Angela Whitfield Calloway District 2 will take the City in a better direction. 

Citizens are guaranteed that this new city council will create an enhanced social equity marijuana ordinance that will benefit the City with reinvestment into neighborhoods. They will have the opportunity to re-develop and reinvest into Detroit City Airport for a general aviation, education and, commercial air service location.  


Coleman Young III
Councilmember at Large
2022-2025

For something as simple as returning money to citizens for property tax overcharges this new City Council can take the time to right the wrong. Organizations like DTE, Detroit Water and Sewer and, others print refund checks or credits if you were overcharged for goods and services so why not the City of Detroit?

Another pressing issue for the council is the return of processing tax returns by the City of Detroit Finance Department. The contract with the State of Michigan has proven to be a disaster because, you cannot pay the city through the state website for taxes due. There have been instances where citizens were receiving letters for taxes due when they were paid off. Citizens deserve better record keeping by their government and, with a little more investment, this can be done to serve the people much better.

We hope that the new council starts to re-invest into Police and Firefighter recruitment and training. Civil service are often overlooked and deserve much respect and attention paid to their needs. This council can rectify the water situation by reclaiming the water the department from the Great Lakes Water Authority and, state appointed review boards with increased oversight to address any discrepancies in the department.

Finally, when you fix the damn water, you will fix the damn roads. In order to fix the water you have to tear up the streets to lay new pipe. When that is done, you have to repair the road and, it ends up being a two for one public service project. Otherwise Former Councilmember Pro-Tempore George Cushingberry Jr. is doing well and living in Florida. He sends his best to the new Detroit City Council and wishes them well.

Retired Attorney George Cushingberry was Right about R. Kelly and Child Abuse Allegations

Written by The Friends of George Cushingberry Jr.

By George Cushingberry esq.(retired),

"Did you know that I told Aaliya's family about R. KELLY'S marriage when I was guardian ad litem for her in Judge Freddie G. Burton's court However, Judge Burton reminded him that we were in a conservatorship hearing, not guardian because she was a minor who earned more than 5000.00.  He didn't think it related and was probably right at the time. After further review, it looks like it was the wrong decision.


R. Kelly and Aaliya "Husband and Wife"


Instead of outrage, Aaliya's family got mad at me but Judge Burton made them pay me anyway. 

ABC/WXYZ 7 - INTERVIEW - WITH GEORGE CUSHINGBERRY JR.   JAN 19th, 2019

My mentor and friend, the late John Stroger chair of Cook County Board of Commissioners, helped me get the marriage license from the Cook County clerk. Upon discovery there were 15 forged documents to say Aaliya was 18 and, had a job as messenger when she was really 14 years old. There were news segments played over the years on ABC/WXYZ and Fox that no one really paid attention to.

 


The recent conviction of Robert Kelly is a vindication of my diligent work to protect women and children in harms way. I am glad that Kelly was convicted and, it looks like the #MeToo movement finally got one right this time. "

Sadly, Mr. Cushingberry is no longer interested in practicing law after a long and illustrious career of being a public servant and consultant. He retired and peacefully living in Florida.

Demand that the Detroit Law Department File Order of Dismissal With 3rd Circuit Court - Wiley v City of Detroit (Dismissed!)

Press Release

It has come to the Friend's attention that City Attorney June Adams is trying to undo a judgement against plaintiff Cleo Wiley in Federal and State Courts based on the reporting from this blog. This action if allowed by the law department gives the appearance of a payoff to plaintiff Wiley for damaging George Cushingberry Jr's  re-election to Detroit City Council in 2017 and, election to the Michigan State Senate 2018. The constant delays and rescheduling of this case was truly designed to discourage George Cushingberry from thinking about ever running again for political office.

On April 16th, 2021 a sad chapter for the City of Detroit came to a quiet end when Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Dana Hathaway dismissed all charges of sexual harassment and, wrongful discharge alleged by Cleo Wiley against George Cushingberry and the City of Detroit. Judge Hathaway agreed with the decision of US District Court Judge Marianne O. Battani that charges brought by Wiley had no grounds and lacked credibility.

On Wednesday March 11, 2020, US District Court Judge Marianne O. Battani dismissed all charges against Detroit City Council Members and, former Detroit City Council-member George Cushingberry Jr. In a stinging 23-page ruling, Judge Battani ruled that Cleo Wiley did not have sufficient evidence of sexual harassment and, was not entitled to protection under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as an Independent Contractor. The court proceedings clearly showed that all Individuals named in her lawsuit did not support ANY of her claims of harassment and, Wiley’s status as an at-will employee was understood by both parties. 

All information reported by this blog on this case is factual regarding with data gathered from public documents, court transcripts and news outlets. The abuse of the #metoo movements goals and objectives by vindictive women is a form of 21st century prostitution, a jobs program for starving law firms and, cheap thrills for rouge news organizations that have a history of reporting delusional "news". Once charges are proven to be false, then accusers should face consequences in a court of law and public opinion. 

If the City of Detroit is allowed to commit this act of insubordination by not filing the final order as requested by Judge Hathaway, this would be another example of public corruption in City government. It would serve the citizens of Detroit best interest if the City writes a letter demanding a retraction from news outlets Fox 2, Detroit Metro Times, WXYZ, and WDIV for reporting gossip at legitimate news stories. 

To demand that the City of Detroit law Department file the final order immediately with the 3rd Circuit Court, please contact the following city officials.

Mayor Mike Duggan
2 Woodward Ave

Detroit, MI 48226

Tell them to do the right thing and file the order of dismissal requested by the court. The case is closed and, the citizens have nothing to gain by the continued dragging out of a case that has be decisively ruled on by Federal and State court judges.
