Good teachers are essential to No Child Left Behind. Please don't deport this teacher on a technicality. He has waited 6 years for an asylum hearing. Because he is so absorbed in being a good teacher, he misread the date of his appointment. That is not a crime worthy of deportation!

I fully support the goal of keeping our country safe via the enforcement of our immigration laws. There are times, however, when the spirit of the law is more important that the letter - this is one of those times. Blindly following procedure at the expense of a good man and the children whose lives he touches is foolish. Rather than deporting Mr. Auttouoman, we should be scouring the world looking for more like him - men who are willing to dedicate their lives to the betterment of the children of our country.

I urge you not to deport Obain Auttouoman. Because good teachers are hard to find. And because he is not a criminal or a terrorist. He shouldn't be punished on the basis that he is an immigrant and a refugee.

Obain is a good man with a valid fear of losing his life if he is deported back to the Ivory Coast. You are not protecting anyone in the United States by deporting him. Let him stay and let Boston keep this good teacher.

Mr., President Bush My daughter is part of this school, and I’m proud of her. She can't stop talking about this teacher, how good he is. My question is: Is this teacher a threat to this country? If your answer is yes then send him home but if its no, them give him one more chance and listen to the voice of future presidents and government officials of this country. Please! Let him stay!
