Why this petition matters

Started by April Rhodes

Please help defend, a living legend, and our beloved Coach Mike Oliver. He is an outstanding member of the African American community that guides, mentors, and coaches many inner city youth in Chicago. As the Curie High School head basketball coach from 2010-2020 his accolades include, one third place state title, seven regional titles, two city -championships, four Pontiac tourament championships, nine conference titles, eight final fours, 2018-2019 Coach of the Year, and 97% graduation rate with athletic scholarships.  Currently, Coach Oliver, has been removed from his position at Marie Sklodowska Curie Metropolitan High School, for false allegations of  an altercation with a student. Please join us in our fight to prove Coach Oliver's innocence and return him to his position as a coach, mentor, and father figure to our students. Please note, Coach Oliver, has also been employed as a security officer for Marie Sklodowska Curie Metropolitan High School for 27 years with no prior complaints or incidents.

"One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done..." Marie Sklodowska Curie
