I listened intensely as you spoke today on Rainbowpush.org and wish to lent my support despite not being a member of your organization, or a Chicago resident. However, I am an educator who has been following the injustices many of our schools, teachers, and honest officials experience in communities like yours across this country. It is appalling, shameful, and despicable that some leaders in local government can go to such lengths to attempt to disrupt the education of our children. That is a deliberate act to continue their system of economic slavery, to stop the growth your efforts brought into the CPS system, to force the youth into the paths of crime, to continue to state that blacks are illiterate, to destabilize the foundation of your philosophy. Put your trust in God and no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

Hi Mr. LaRaviere it’s Arsheen I don’t know if you remember me but I was your student at Blaine a few years back! i have been keeping up with everything that has been happening and it is all awful and completely unfair! This week in school I’m actually doing a current event about everything that has happened. I complete support everything that you have said and I think it is ridiculous that this is all happening to you just because you spoke out about the corruption that has been present in CPS for the past few years. I will continue to help make people aware of everything that is happening and how unfair it is! You continue to inspire me!

Good question. Join an organization of people who are already involved. If there isn’t one you’re interested in, start one.

I’ve been following your blog for a little while now and I, like the other applaud your courageous spirit to fight for our children. What can we do to get more involved?

I’ve been following your actions on Diane Ravitch’s blog. Thank God for principals like you. Seriously. The world needs more people willing to take a stand. I live and teach in Pennsylvania, where things aren’t fabulous, but not terrible, either. I keep wishing for common sense to prevail, and corruption to be punished. I hope you are reinstated, the students need you.
