I care because I’m human — and a mother. Lele, a 3-year-old boy, is being treated like an animal instead of a human. This ongoing dehumanization abuse must STOP NOW. His life, dignity, and future cannot wait. Speak up. Act. Protect him!
I need urgent assistance. I am currently in Yunnan and am either three or five years old. Although they claim to be my parents, I know they are not. I am being forced to crawl like a dog, eat and live with dogs, and am not permitted to wear clothing at any time of the year. They mock me by calling me a dog, but I am aware that I am a child. I am in desperate need of help. I am uncertain whether I can survive the coming winter.
I was a student under Mrs Calhoun for 2 years, she was always a safe place to go for anyone having trouble. Mrs Calhoun is compassionate, always there to listen, and it absolutely crushed me when I heard the news. This is completely unacceptable and a step backwards in history, I fully support the reinstatement of Mrs Calhoun.
I was absolutely disgusted to hear about the injustice that has been inflicted upon Mrs Calhoun, for simply being respectful of her students request. I wholeheartedly support the reinstatement of this incredible teacher. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting her outside of school settings on two different occasions, once when she was on an evening walk with her daughters and again during a garage sale a few months ago. I didnt know it but she told me that she actually taught my now 23 year old son back when she was still at Delaura! That alone speaks volumes about her character and the genuine care she has for her students. When I asked my son if he remembered her, he said that if more teachers were as kind, patient and encouraging as she is, he would have enjoyed school more. She is truly one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I’ve ever met. We need more educators like her in our community — compassionate, dedicated, and sincerely invested in the lives of those she teaches.
I extend my strongest recommendation for the reinstatement of Melissa Calhoun at Satellite High School. I have known her since she was 16 as a student in my classroom, and I have watched her flourish as a teacher in her adulthood, from her work at DeLaura Middle School where she inspired so many young people including our son, to her work at Satellite High School where she has not only poured her heart into teaching but also to developing strong bonds with students and their families. She truly is the best of the best. Please reinstate her. It is unquestionably the right thing to do.
