Someone's belief structure does not supersede the Law. It is sad that black histroy month was an unwitting victim of the manipulation of the students.

Mr. Tyree is an excellent teacher! He challenges my daughter and encourages her writing. He is a real asset to DMS. Let the true story be revealed and let him get back to work!

If a school doesn't understand the importance of separation of church and state what hope can we have for our children?

The school cannot promote religion or theism which is exactly what they are doing if having a choir sign about God. Seperation of church and state!

We can not tolerate an attack on the separation of church and state. Mr. Tyree is a good example of one Who is properly defending the rights of the children he is responsible for.

This wasn't about racism but separation of church and state, something that gets overlooked in this part of the country.

Thanks for standing up for the first amendment This happens all too often, the government must remain secular and free from proselytizing by religious people and gangs.

Parents received a letter from the superintendent that included, " While some members of our community have suggested the content of the program was religious in nature, that is incorrect. LCS remains neutral on matters of religion in keeping with its constitutional obligations. The inclusion of some gospel music as a minor component of the program was to reflect the importance of that musical genre to the African American community as it struggled for equal rights, and such use had a secular and educational purpose in the context of a larger program that was not intended to advance any religious agenda."
I understand that the intention of LCS was to remain neutral,unfortunatly it clearly was not the intention of LU Praise. Their intentions are expressed very clearly on their website, "Our mission is to bring glory to the name of Jesus Christ through song and worship. We aim to do this through the presentation of songs in the musical language of the African-American worship tradition."
Mistakes happen, choosing this group to preform was one. Failing to notify parents about the assembly and who was preforming was another. Parents were not given any sort of information or an "opt out" form. Again, I will state that I truly believe that Mr. Tyree interrupted the assembly because he understands the diversity in religion within the student body and felt that the students who were uncomfortable due to their religious beliefs needed an alternative activity. I am at a loss as to why people that are concidered civil rights leaders in this community like former mayor Hutichison and former Alvin Ailey principle dancer Keith Lee (neither of whom have children at Dunbar) felt the need to go to the media with claims that the actions of mr Tyree were racially motivated. Our community has many very real racial barriers. We need these leaders to focus on ways to actually help lead us all to understand the needs of minorities in our city rather than yell fire (or race as
