LAUSD HAS CREATED A STATE OF OUTRAGE IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL COMMUNITY, TREATING THE PERSONIFATION OF TEACHER EXCELLENCE AS A POLITICAL PRISONER
WORLD RENOWN MUSIC TEACHER, IRIS STEVENSON, WAS PLACED IN LOS ANGELES UNFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT’S INFAMOUS TEACHER JAIL WITHOUT NOTIFICATION AS TO REASONS WHY
LAUSD, remanded, to Teacher Jail, Iris Stevenson, who is internationally known as an exceptional Teacher and Choir Director at Crenshaw High School. Historically, at no expense to LAUSD, it has sanctioned trips domestically and abroad for the Choir which has always been funded by donations and nonprofit organizations.
In this case LAUSD denied sanction for the Choir to represent the United States of America as goodwill Ambassadors to France and further upon return to the United States to perform at the Whitehouse for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. Many parents chose to sign waivers allowing their children to participate in this once in a lifetime opportunity. Upon return Music Department Chair and Choir Director was informed she was persona non grata on the campus of Crenshaw High School and remanded during school hours to Teacher Jail without cause to LAUSD headquarters 333 South Beaudry Ave. Another chapter in the flagrant abuse of teacher and parent rights THIS MUST STOP!
Parents, Students, Teachers and Clergy in attendance
