One should not lose one's job for doing the right thing.

Don't fire a good teacher. Many songs from African culture includes God in the verses. Don't be naive.

I support Mr. Tyree and agree with his actions. My daughter followed Mr. Tyree because of the extreme religious undertones of what was to be a black history celebration. Please keep religion out of school lessons, school is not a place for it unless you choose to teach about all religions, not just Christianity.

This isn't exactly true. No the school (or whoever invited the gospel choir) should not have invited them. Although if they sang traditional African America chants it'd be a different story due to the fact that that would be a historical reference. There are schools that even have world religions courses as an elective. But students can pray at lunch or even hold a Bible study at school. As long as t is student led you cannot stop students from practicing their religious beliefs. Students could sing gospel songs but again it has to be completely student led and not endorsed, or prevented, by school staff.

It's important to consider the spirit, or intention, in which rules and guidelines are made. Mr. Tyree did not break the spirit of any rules. Events such as these make wonderful teachable examples, in the spirit of restorative justice (versus punishment).

Tyree is by far one of the most amazing educators I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. It's disgusting that his livelihood is being threatened because of such ignorance. Anyone who has ever met, spoken to, or been taught by Tyree knows what a special individual he is and for the district to treat him like this is appalling, to say the least.

When I was a student at Dunbar Middle, Mr. Tyree was a favorite teacher of mine. Don't make the wrong choice by firing a teacher who is good at his job and loves teaching.

Kids should have been given the option beforehand. It's a PUBLIC school, not a religious school.

Mr.Tyree is a great teacher. When he was teaching me and we had an assemble to attend about black history he would sit there and listten like any other teacher. He did the right thing and offered students that were offened by this to leave. He was basicly looking out for the kids to save an argument between the school board and the parents of the children that keeps the school board staff jobs happen.

Maybe what he did was wrong in someone's eye. But a teacher with as much talent as Mr.Tyree shouldn't go to waste. He's a bright individual who helps children every single day, despite the attitudes, dispositions, and negligence surrounding him everyday. Removing this great individual from the job he loves isn't only cruel to him as a teacher, but to the students as well.

I stand with Mr Tyree & the person who invited this group to the school should be who should be fired for letting a Christian organization perform without letting parents know ahead of time.
