We the undersigned join Kelli Phillips in calling on Metro Nashville Schools to reverse their ban and allow charter school children to join competitive sports games with public school children. This policy was carried out without consultation and unfairly harms and isolates charter school children who have done nothing wrong and do not understand why they cannot play sports with their friends at public schools. Nashville should be more united, not divided.

I am currently hearing from many families who are frustrated by this sudden policy change. Email your local school board member today to demand an explanation for why these students are being excluded from competitive play. Focus your calls on the board office to ensure they understand this community will not accept being divided.

My son is heartbroken he cant play against his old teammates. Stop punishing the kids just because of the school they go to. Ridiculous.

Kids just want to play ball. Why make things so complicated for them? Let them play.

They all pay taxes in this district. Seems like they should have the same rights to the fields as any other kid.

THESE ARE KIDS. Leave the politics out of sports.

Used to be a Nashville tradition for everyone to play together. Bring that back.
