The Issue

Jonathan is a Math Teacher at East Lee County High School. His name was recently brought up as a teacher that pulled back the hair and  kissed a student, Mariah Torres, on the neck, leaving saliva. He admitted to the accusation and supposedly apologized so the District slapped him on the hand with a letter of reprimand and a three day suspension without pay. This teacher has also been preaching his denomination's word, which involves hatred of specific sexual orientation, to student that he feels need it. 

His actions have gone unpunished and this is unacceptable. East Lee County High School has become a "dumping ground" for teachers that have problems and the Disctict cannot fire them for whatever reason so they transfer them there. 

This petetion requests that Mr. Blikstad immediately resign his position or be terminated. Our students deserve a safe place to learn!
