Thank you Mr. tyree! We need people like you who let children and others formulate their own opinions and see the dangers of religious brainwashing in places of public education. I would have been one of those students that went with you

My brother was one of the students to walk out with him and it was not over racism at all

I stand behind separation of church and state and this teacher's decision.

The teacher did nothing wrong. Having a religious program, even though it was part of a Black History celebration, was the wrong thing to do in a public school. Not everyone in this state in Christian and they shouldn't be forced to sit and listen to any gospel, teaching or anything religious. If you let one religion come into public schools, you have to let all religions come in and have their say as well. He stood up for his students and not enough teachers will do that. Don't get rid of him for putting his students first.

Way to go Mr. Tyree! My children do not attend this school, but I fully support this teacher, just by reading the comments from his own students!

No, he should not lose his job. Why is it necessary to allow a few or be PC police to take a man's job? I shake my head to the stupidity.

As far as I'm concerned, this is just a bunch of attention-seeking idiots pulling the race card. Now-a-days, you can't even say "black" without coming under fire. This controversy should've never happened. Mr. Tyree is an amazing teacher, and Dunbar is a school for equality, not this. While interrupting the concert instead of a disclaimer is not the way I'd handle religious concerns, better late than never.

Mr. Tyree is an amazing and loving teacher. I personally didn't have him but he and Mr.Potts always hung out after school when I stayed back to work on English assignments 6 years ago! No way that he's racist!

The Brotherhood comes to EC Glass today and to everyone who reads this: you should be prepared to do what Mr. Tyree did for all the students at Dunbar. #SaveTyree

Whether you agree with his method or not, you have to know that he did what he believed to be the best thing for his students. I know this because that's what he always does- he goes the extra mile by working ridiculously long hours to make his class engaging and fun for the kids. If the school board actually cared at all about them or their educations, they would listen to the students. It's pretty obvious which side they are on...

I am a Dunbar parent, and a Christian. Despite my personal beliefs, I think terminating this teacher would be the wrong response to the situation.

Even though I didn't have Mr. Tyree back in my 7th grade year, I don't think the school should fire him.
