Reinstate Brooke Harris at the Pontiac Academy for Excellence Middle School
Greetings,
I’m writing to you today to call for the reinstatement of Brooke Harris at the Pontiac Academy for Excellence Middle School, Pontiac, Mich.
Ms. Harris’ commitment to her students’ education is evidenced by her enthusiasm for bringing real-world situations that relate to her students’ lived experiences—like the killing of Trayvon Martin—into her classroom. Her competence, dedication, and passion have garnered the trust and admiration of the parents and teachers who named her Teacher of the Year two of the last three years.
Ms. Harris was summarily fired with no provision for appeal.
When teachers are afraid to address controversial issues in their classrooms, students’ education suffers and our nation’s best teachers are silenced. Brooke Harris is one of these teachers, but you can give her voice back to her.
Please, support your students. Reinstate Brooke Harris.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
