There are individuals vietnamese american that not deserve to live in the free america
Peter supported: Stop online harassment in Vietnamese diasporaAs a Vietnamese American and a member of the United States military, I am deeply concerned by the derogatory and disrespectful rhetoric that has been directed toward Vietnamese refugees and members of the Vietnamese American community.
Many Vietnamese “boat people” endured persecution, imprisonment, dangerous sea journeys, separation from their families, and tremendous personal sacrifice in their search for freedom. Referring to these refugees in degrading terms, including comparing them to “dogs,” is offensive and dismissive of the suffering experienced by an entire generation of Vietnamese people.
I also strongly object to repeated sweeping and misleading portrayals of life in the United States. America is not a perfect country, and reasonable people may criticize its government, tax system, workplaces, or social conditions. Freedom of speech protects the right to express those opinions. However, criticism should be based on facts and expressed responsibly, particularly when addressing a large public audience. Personal dissatisfaction should not be presented as an accurate description of life for all Americans.
Likewise, anyone is free to express views about Vietnam or its political system, but promoting one political ideology does not justify insulting Vietnamese refugees or belittling the country that provided generations of Vietnamese families with an opportunity to rebuild their lives in freedom.
My military service has given me an especially strong appreciation for the freedoms that allow people in the United States to speak openly—even when others strongly disagree with them. With that freedom also comes personal responsibility and accountability for the way we treat other people.
I am signing this petition not to silence legitimate opinions or political discussion, but to call for basic respect, factual responsibility, and civility. I respectfully ask Ms. Tran to stop using degrading language toward Vietnamese refugees, to refrain from making misleading generalizations about Americans and life in the United States, and to engage with those who disagree with her in a respectful and constructive manner.
Respectfully,
Pitou Assisi
Pitou supported: Stop online harassment in Vietnamese diasporaEducation is where change begins, absolutely every young woman should know the warning signs for grooming and abuse. As a mother myself teaching stranger danger is an obvious one but educating a teenager on these warning signs is often overlooked because violence in relationships and grooming seems rare until it’s someone you know.
Zoey supported: Pass Hailey’s Law: "Pink Alert" and Mandated Grooming Awareness Education in SchoolsAs a mother to 2 boys, gender doesn’t discriminate!! We need to help these children understand the gravity of talking to strangers online— even if they appear to be real.. even through Gaming platforms.
Kayleigh supported: Pass Hailey’s Law: "Pink Alert" and Mandated Grooming Awareness Education in SchoolsAs a girl around the same age of Hailey, this needs to be brought up in all schools, to bring awareness to not just children but teens and adults. Hailey didn’t deserve this , no one does.

Saúl supported: Solicitamos la renuncia del presidente de HondurasAbramos nuestros ojos
JOSE supported: Solicitamos la renuncia del presidente de HondurasA lot of this is caused by PALY and the parents at PALY. As a former paly student, I can attest that paly is insanely difficult. Not only are the classes like 1.5 or 2 times as hard as normal high schools, it is also expected that you get straight As instead of Bs and Cs (like normal schools). This is because parents pushed for harder classes, and maybe even because the school board wants to make more money by having higher scores. Also, parents don’t step up because they think “oh my child would never do this” “oh they’d tell me” “oh I could fix their mental health”. No. Maybe some, but not all. For every kid that kills themself, 50 more are struggling with depression, and 200 more are stressed and overwhelmed. Sure, paly students generally go on to have better careers than the average student, but what about the sacrifices? What about the people who burnout in HS or college? What about the many who don’t even care about the advanced courses they do? I’m sure every paly student reading this knows friends whose parents made them take advanced courses that they hate. I wonder how many go on to struggle with mental health for their whole life (however short it may end up being). And you know what’s sad? The school doesn’t even care. It’s their policy to mention it once, because it’s too obvious to hide, then never speak of it again. Paly ASB isn’t even allowed to hold memorials because the idea is to make people “forget about it”. The school thinks that by ignoring the dead student’s life and pain, they prevent suicides, but all they do is tell students how little a student’s life is worth. If a literal child dies, their life is worth a single message to all of the students (which chatGPT said was polished with AI) and that’s it. You know who didn’t “forget” about Ash’s suicide? The person who just killed herself. It was her number one reason to do it. Maybe if the school had respected Ash’s death, she could have found more peace with it. Maybe if she was able to get actual school therapy she wouldn’t have killed herself. Maybe if the meager “mental help” the school offers didn’t have a reputation for notifying parents, she would have sought help. Maybe if she had actual free time (a rare commodity for a paly student) she could have had time for school therapy, or time to mentally recuperate. Maybe if the school had even bothered to change a single thing after Ash’s death, Summer would still be here. But she’s not. And she will never come back.
