Save Mr.Tyree's Job

The corporate media misconstruing the events once again...

My Tyree did exactly the right thing in order to preserve the Constitutional separation of church and state and the school was in the wrong for having a Christian choir come into the auditorium to sing Christian music. Mr. Tyree should be applauded for his actions and NOT be subjected to a firing process and if the administration of this school had any real brains they would realize that what they did left the school open to a lawsuit. Keep Mr. Tyree in that school as the voice of legality and reason. DO NOT pursue firing him because to do so will result in all of us watching and making sure that the proper legal ramifications are followed to block your actions

You CANNOT promote religion in a public school! Period. End of story. It is ILLEGAL. You broke the law.

Religion should not be imposed upon students in a public school. Mr. Tyree did the right thing in allowing students the right to leave if they so chose. The school is wrong in allowing Christian proselytizing in an all-school assembly.

I'm a Christian and he did the right thing.

I was taught by Mr. Tyree back when I was in 7th grade as well. He is one of the best teachers I have been taught by, and has always shown his love and support for the students, as well as the school, and community around him. He is a good man, and though his actions may have been misconstrued as racist, I know that is not the type of person he is, which is why I'm signing this petition today. Save this mans job!

Mr. Tyree was the best teacher anyone could ask for. He knew how to make learning fun and personally, he made me want to become a better person.

we are sooooo lucky to have people like Mr. Tyree. without people like him schools would be churches!

But the teachers did know it was Christian so if he knew he wasnt christian he should have anounce somethin before the assembly or atleast after the song!

I stand with Mr. Tyree! This is a totally religious issue and he should not be fired.

Don't fire Tyree

He was right to stand up for all children's rights. Not everyone is a Christian & shouldn't Lynchburg City enforce separation of church and state? Of not, then there should be legal action against Lynchburg City & definitely not the teacher.

Me.Tyree is a nice person even though I don't have him as a teacher. I feel like what he did was wrong but he has a family and kids so I don't know if he should be fired.

This is not a racial thing and it makes me sad to see it perpetuated as such. He didn't act in the best way but I don't agree it was an offense worth termination!

I stand with Mr. Tyree.

I don't know this man, nor did I attend Dunbar, however my grandson attends and has said quite a bit on the matter, and I back him, as well as the teacher in question.

Ridiculous to silence people like that.

Protecting the First Amendment is not always popular, but it is the right thing to do. I stand with Mr. Tyree.

UNFAIR!!

I believe this teacher should remain current and permanent as a teacher. He was hired to teach and he is doing just that, really well. Especially since the school ratings in the system have dropped dramatically in the state. For one, racism is formed by those who see it as such like carl b hutcherson, al sharpton...etc. people will get offended over anything now days and cry about it till they get their way.. For better or in this case for worse. He simply expressed his opinion that he was offended, and thats it. No threats, name calling, etc... Which he is protected by his 1st amendment right, per freedom of speech and having him removed is violating this right which is in alienable and shall never be fringed upon. If the board resolves this matter and terminated this employee, it too has done nothing else but fuel the fire of racism and favor a specific side regardless of how well he teached.... Thankyou for your concern in this matter and i will definitely sign this petition... God bless!
