On Celerity Nascent Charter School

Posted March 23rd, 2007 by Prometheus 6

Last night I signed an online petition requesting Marisol Alba and Sean Strauss, the teachers that lost their jobs for signing a student petition supporting a Black History Month presentation on Emmitt Till, get their jobs back. I'm number 75. I support these teachers, a Latina and white man, because their motivation was correct. Also the reason Mr. Strauss was given for his termination was troublesome.

In the letter terminating his employment, dated March 6, Strauss was said to have been "disparaging the school to students and parents and authorizing by physical signature a nonsupportive message to the administrative staff."

I guess my problem is I can't imaging them doing a reenactment of the lynching or anything. Well, that and the principal justifying the lynching as a response to sexual harassment.
