Mr. Carnine has served 27 years as the most sought after educator at PRMS for many, many reasons. Most notably his ability to bring out the best in his student, challenging them to think globally while balanced with a histrionic perspective. He is as good as it's get when it comes to motivating the young minds of today, towards building a better, more just, and inclusive tomorrow for ALL.

Both of my kids had Mr. Carnine. He was one of the best teachers they have ever had. It goes without saying that after hearing the shocking allegations we knew something was amiss. The statements shared by those eyewitness students in the classroom paint a very different picture from the false allegations made by this student /family. Now our brave students are fighting back. Let us join them in their endeavor.

Mr. Carnine was my son's favorite teacher at Revere. He led thoughtful discussions that prompted my son to start conversations with us almost nightly about our values, and why we hold them. Without knowing the details, it sounds like the student making the complaint completely missed the point of the classroom discussion. There has to be a way to discuss racism without being called a racist.

I am the mother of two boys who have enjoyed Mr Carnine’s style of teaching. He has been inspiring and instrumental in their interest and love of Greece and Rome. He uniquely challenges students to have English spelling tests that reference their history subjects. He challenges them with creative projects that cross all media. He is a wonderful, dedicated and caring teacher. On this petition, many students who were in the class on the day in question, have said the claims against Mr. Carnine are completely inaccurate. Should LAUSD not listen to the voices of the many and not the accusations of one? Do the family of the supposed wronged student have a history of filing lawsuits – or threatening legal action? I have read this is the case. Should Mr. Carnine not be innocent until proven otherwise? Not one student in this petition has expressed any concerns or fears for their safety. Please reinstate Mr. Carnine! #SAVECARNINE

I had Mr. Carnine as a teacher in 6th grade. As a high school senior, he remains one of the best teachers I have ever had. I could not imagine him making racist remarks towards a student. The reports of casual racism in his classroom are simply false. He is far too professional to say anything hurtful to a student, even if they were acting up. There was one problem child in my class in 6th grade who happened to be african american, and even though Mr. Carnine often got angry at him, he would never use a bad word- he simply sent him outside: even when faced with anger or frustration, Mr. Carnine did not deviate from his usual professional self. Thus, I cannot help but know that, unless Mr. Carnine has changed drastically in the last 6 years, this accusation is false.

I was in Mr. Carnine’s class last year for 6th grade. I believe that Mr. Carnine is innocent. Mr. Carnine is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Every day in his class was entertaining and enlightening. Mr. Carnine is an extremely pleasant teacher. Mr. Carnine is a person who would make jokes in class and everyone would laugh, but he would never say anything racist.

These accusations are totally antithetical to his character. Seems like a Salem witch trial situation. No wonder no one wants to go into teaching anymore...
