Dr. Michael Oideck is being terminated. There is no politically correct way to say this: he has stood in the way of those who would advance their own agendas over the needs of urban children, and now he is being paid back for not being a "team player". Michael has shown his integrtity and his courage in the face of these people, and now, they have sacrificed the heads of speech and social work to get him out of their way. We need Michael to stand up for us and for the neediest kids of this city. If you want change in this system, this is the time to show Dr. Copeland that we have the knowledge and the courage to help her turn this system around. It is always a risk to take a stand and put your name out their. The greater risk is to do nothing and then live under conditions that are untolerable and which you didn't oppose. Now is the time to make your choice.
