This petition is to show all of the support for the Taylors. Please sign it and help us out!!! .:: THE BACKGROUND ::. TAYLOR AND TAYLOR WERE RACIALLY TAUNTED AND HARRASSED AT THEIR HIGH SCHOOL LAST WEEK ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THEY TRIED TO TALK TO THE PERSON THAT WAS DOING IT TWO SEPARATE TIMES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO SUCCESS. THEY TALKED TO A TEACHER ABOUT IT AND NOTHING WAS DONE. OVER THE WEEKEND THEY TALKED TO THEIR PARENTS ABOUT IT AND DECIDED THEY WERE GOING TO VISIT THE VICE-PRINCIPAL ON MONDAY. BEFORE THEY TALKED TO THE VICE-PRINCIPAL ON MONDAY MORNING THEY INITIATED A FIGHT WITH THE PERSON THAT WAS HARRASSING THEM. THEY ADMIT THIS WAS WRONG AND THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE WENT ABOUT IT THIS WAY. IT WAS VIDEO TAPED BY SEVERAL STUDENTS ON THEIR CELL PHONES AND IT WAS UPLOADED TO THE INTERNET. NOW BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS, THEY HAVE BEEN "INDEFINITELY EXPELLED" FROM THEIR SCHOOL. INDEFINITELY MEANS THEY CANNOT ATTEND ANY OTHER SCHOOL IN OUR DISTRICT EVER AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, WE LIVE IN A SMALL AREA AND THERE IS ONLY ONE DISTRICT. NOT ONLY HAVE THE TAYLORS BEEN EXPELLED BUT THERE ARE OTHER STUDENTS THAT WERE IN SUPPORT OF THE TAYLORS\' ACTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN EXPELLED AND SUSPENDED AS WELL. MEANWHILE, THE BOY WHO STARTED THE ENTIRE SITUATION WITH THE RACIAL HARRASSMENT WILL BE ALLOWED TO RETURN TO SCHOOL. HE IS NOT EVEN GOING TO BE CHARGED WITH CRIMINAL CHARGES AS WE WERE TOLD HE WAS GOING TO BE!! BUT THE TAYLORS ARE GOING TO RECEIVE CHARGES!! THIS IS COMPLETELY WRONG AND UNFAIR!! WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE IS THIS SENDING TO THE OTHER STUDENTS OF THE SCHOOL THAT IT\'S OKAY TO HARRASS SOMEONE ON A RACIAL LEVEL BUT AS LONG AS YOU DON\'T ACT OUT IN A PHYSICAL MANNER THEN YOU CAN STAY IN SCHOOL THESE BOYS NEED TO BE IN SCHOOL! THEY ARE ENTITLED TO THE OPPORTUNITY TO WALK DOWN THE AISLE WITH THEIR CLASSMATES NEXT YEAR AND RECEIVE THEIR DIPLOMAS AND NOT HAVE TO JUST GET THEM IN THE MAIL!! PLEASE SHOW YOUR SUPPORT BY SIGNING THIS PETITION!! THANK YOU!!

this is so unfair. the school should have protected them from the start instead of ignoring the harassment. now two kids lose their education? ridiculous.

im sick of seeing this happen in our district. standing up for yourself isnt a crime but the admin acts like it is. let the Taylors return!

total double standard. the school admin failed them long before that fight happened. fix this now.

ZERO TOLERANCE policies are trash. they are pushing kids out instead of fixing the bullying problem. let them back in school.

everyone saw what led up to this. dont punish the victims while the instigator walks free.
