Mr.Tyree did nothing wrong, sure it was rude to inturrupt the praise band like he did but it was not about Race, it was about religion personally I hope he sues Dunbar middle school since though the assembly was for black history month the praise band was from a private Christian school and they sung about their god which is prohibited in public schools. Mr.Tyree is a terrific teacher and not the slightest bit of racist and our school board should be ashamed that they did such a thing to this innocent man, how is he supposed to support his family now ? My school is always telling us to build each other up and not skip to conclusions but how are we supposed to listen when they do the very same ?

I wonder what the story or headline would be if no teacher gave children an option to leave.......
The means in which he interrupted the singers was rude an made some students uncomfortable.
The portion he interrupted made others uncomfortable based on praise songs.
If he believes he could have handled the situation in a better manner than afford him the opportunity to apologize for the delivery not message.
I believe he should be able to continue to teach his students.

I understand that getting up and interrupting the choir was unprofessional. He should be punished and apologize to the L.U. Choir but certainly not fired. Only the most ignorant people can't see that his actions were towards the religious aspect of the program and not the "black history" part. I am a non white student and I haven't been treated any differently by him. Most of his classes are largely populated by African American students and he is very respectful. Yes, any adult with proper manners should not have interrupted the choir during the set but his intentions were bareable. It would be ashamed to lose one of our best teachers.

But there wasn't an option to not attend the assembly without skipping school entirely. I doesn't matter if they were singing because the songs were inappropriate in a public school so it was absolutely justified

I think he was doing the right thing in this situation, considering school seem very non-religious he was just trying to keep the area from being offensive to students and was the right thing to do.

My. Tyree is a great teacher he was standing up for the kids that were scared. He shouldn't be published.

I have to admit that it was wrong of what he done. But I believe in second chances. Also he should not have got up there and done that he should have just walked out and not have made a scene like that. But that's a personal opinion also a personal problem

What he did was wrong. There was a disclaimer before what happened and he rudely went onto the stage and interrupted while they were singing! He shouldn't have done that.

YET another reason why I would never send my children to Lynchburg City Schools. The mayor and school board should be ashamed. There will be repercussions in the next election.

This is outrageous. One of the best teachers I've ever met and this is his reward? This is ridiculous.

I was a former student at Dunbar, I had Mr. Tyree, by far he is one of my favorite teachers of all time. He did the right thing, this was never about a skin color. People need to wake up and stop blaming things because of their ethnicity and religion.

Mr Tyree is a great teacher. I think we need to show him grace even though what he did was wrong.

Idc what any of u say he was wrong for interrupting the choir while they were singing even though he was not trying to hurt anybodies feelings he did because he has many students that do believe in the religion they were singing about which also hurt many of his other student, now the principle did give a disclaimer before they preformed how do i know well i was there when the incident happened i do think he deserves everything that happened to him and will happen to him

Mr.Tyree maybe should've approached it in a different way but I don't disagree with him. He's a great teacher and FAR FROM RACIST ! He's not the only person who doesn't believe in God that attends Dunbar. So of course there were most likely other students there who were uncomfortable.. If they really cared at Dunbar for ALL students they would have sent out a warning beforehand for those teachers and students who have different religions ‼️✊
