Mr Bush when did stop being the "Home of the Brave, the land of the
free"? I hope
America is still standing with her arms open saying " Give me your
tired your poor, huddled masses longing to be free.
Mr. Bush please do the "Human Right" thing. |

Suellen Green :
Mr. President, You have made it a cornerstone of your administration to
improve the education of all American children. In this, your second term,
you are making high school education a high priority. It would seem to me,
that Obain Auttouoman is the kind of teacher who is ALREADY making such a
difference in his students' lives. Mr. Auttouoman escaped to this
country to get away from persecution in his native Ivory Coast. Not only
has he accepted safe haven here, but he has GIVEN BACK to this nation
through his teaching and inspiring so many urban students. Must he be
forced back to an uncertain future simply because he misread an appearance
form and showed up on the wrong date? Does he not DESERVE another chance
to state his case? Would you be where you are today if people had not
given you a second chance?
Secretary Chertoff,
It is clear that Obain Autouoman is not someone who escaped to this
country to make a safer life for himself. He has made a conscious effort
to give back to our society in one of the most important ways possible.
He is teaching and inspiring so many urban students - the very people who
are the future of this nation. Must your department never give someone a
second chance - especially under the circumstances of his error? Is your
department so tied to rules and regulations that it can not see when one
individual has proven himself as an upstanding resident of this nation?
Mr. President, Mr. Secretary, please do not allow the deportation of Obain
Auttouoman. You ARE the individuals who can make a difference this time! |

influence young minds. |

Marianne McLaughlin :
Mr. Obain Attouoman is an amazing man who constantly sacrifices himself to
be a great teacher, mentor, and role model to more than 1000 Boston Public
School students in the Fenway High, Boston Arts Academy, and Mary Lyons
Middle School community.
He came to this country fleeing persecution in the Ivory Coast, and after
waiting six years for an asylum hearing, he misread the handwritten court
date and showed up on the wrong day. Now, without even getting to go before
the judge, he is being deported.
We do not believe that this is how it should be in the United States of
America. We believe that someone who has made such a great contribution to
society should be encouraged to continue his fine work here, rather than be
deported.
Mr. President, our public education system needs more teachers like Obain,
and we cannot believe that you or your administration would sanction taking
a great math teacher from an urban school.

I think this is very un fair. Mr. Auttouoman came to our country for safty,
and he has changed a lot of the student's lives. If he is helping the
students why cant he stay and continue to change people's lives? |

Dear President Bush:
There are always exceptions to any rule and I believe that Mr. Auttouoman
falls within this category. Please ask the immigration officials to
reconsider this case and at least grant him another hearing. Thank you. |

Lucia mayerson :
With the shortage of teachers how can we deport a man who has done so much
fro the students in Boston.
He is the type of person that poses danger to the US . On the contrary he
has contributed as much if not more tahn many US citizens. He deserve to
stay in this country.

The public schools in the US have been a failure for as long as I have
known. Depriving an urban school of a talented and loved teacher will only
speed up this declining educational system. The deportation of this one
teacher will negatively affect hundreds of students and community members.
This is not right. In a land of justice and opportunity, where is the
justice? |
