Reinstate Coach Brown .....and that's final

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-09)

#3

I believe in this coach

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-09)

#5

I'm signing because I feel the penalty for what she's being charged with is too harsh. Providing rooms for underprivileged team members isn't inappropriate , especially if it's done without any harm to the students. The notion alone was indicative of the dedication to her students.

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-09)

#6

We want our coach back

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-09)

#8

That's my coach

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-09)

Coach Brown is the best coach you'll ever have. She has not done anything wrong

(Copperas cove, 2016-12-09)

I Am Signing This Because I Think It Is Unfair For Our Coach To Be Taken Away From Us.

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-09)

#11

She is an AWESOME Coach and Leader. Her decision to have an event for the team had no malicious intent and approved by the Athletic Director, Mr. Green. If it was truly a wrong decision then he should also be penalized. #letcoachbrowncoach

Coach Tammy is a confident and caring leader. Her leadership and tenacity is second to none. Reinstate her as Coach. The administration did not anticipate the second- and third-order effects. The students, parents, and more importantly, the voices of the girls basket ball team must take precedent over personal bias. A leader that knows human intelligence and can communicate effectively is what is needed at Webster High School. Diversity and inclusion must be the administration'a primary area of concern. As I've listened and viewed the negative press, this issue could have been resolved through the Labor/Management/Employee Relations Department and/or EEO. Thank you in advance for your time and efforts to right-a-wrong!

Kind and warmest regards,
Tony Carter

Tammy is the best coach in the world, she may be a little rough around the edges, but she's a hard worker and she means well.

(Phenix city, 2016-12-09)

#15

That principal doesn't appear to be treating this coach fairly. Fire the Athletic Director, clearly he was aware!

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-09)

#16

I know that she would do anything for those kids.

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-09)

#18

I have witness the relationship between Coach Tammy Brown and the student team. She is very professional with the students and have instilled in them to give their best in all things. I believe she has always been a role model and can continue to make a different in the community and school system alike. It will be a major mistake not to reinstate her as the coach of this team.

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-09)

#20

I think Coach Brown is a great person, Coach and Mentor!

(Annapolis, 2016-12-09)

#22

Coach Brown deserves it period.

(Glen Burnie, 2016-12-10)

#23

I have know Coach Brown for 30+ years. She is a great person, a great coach and a great mentor to those young ladies and tem building is key to any teams success. So if she got the ok from the Athletic Director than why is he not being punished too.

(Annapolis, 2016-12-10)

#26

Ms Brown is a phenomenal coach and a loving and respectable person. The children live her and need her just as much as she needs them. She is highly qualified to coach anywhere is the world, but she saw a great need to coach @ Westover High School.

(Annapolis, 2016-12-10)

#27

I think its wrong to treat a teacher/coach like that
Being punished for something that wasn't her fault

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#28

This is a female that has severed our country and decided to still serve in the public education field. I support and respect her work ethic and leadership skills

(Raeford, 2016-12-10)

#29

She's an awesome women, a great basketball player, and a wonderful coach!

(Annapolis, 2016-12-10)

#32

She has the passion to fulfill her dream of Coaching basketball and the kids her success from her early years

(Glen Burnie, 2016-12-10)

#33

It's quite clear the impact that Coach Brown has made on her team & the community from their out pouring show of support! Coach Brown was given the approval to do what she did so why is she being punished? Seems Senseless to me but even more ludicrous to prolong her reinstatement!

(Annapolis, 2016-12-10)

#36

Tammy has a love for kids at heart and is a true leader. To reinstate her will be a win for everyone and especially the players. If we want what's best for them reinstate her.

(Grafenwoehr, 2016-12-10)

#37

I grew up with this woman and she has a big heart. and always giving back to her community

(Annapolis, 2016-12-10)

#40

Im signing this because as a former student of Mrs. Brown it not only saddens me but makes me very angry because to know her personally, you know that her top priority and love is for seeing and assisting her students to excel in their unique talents and gifts. She has touched not only my lives but the lives of many people, and it would be a down right shame for us to loose such a prized jewel in this filled that many take for granted and who don't care. If youw believe in this thing call education and what the best for the coming and next generation, do the right then and let her do what she does best!

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#41

Tammy Brown is one of the greatest basketball players (male or female) to come out of Annapolis. Someone who has served her country and I'd looking to give back to the community at every opportunity.

(Arnold, 2016-12-10)

#42

I know a member of the basketball team. I know first hand the positive changes Coach Brown has brought about.

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-09)

#44

Students need the intelligence, expertise & structure that Coach Brown provides. Reinstate her with the approval of the community, faculty, students & parents.

(Millersville, 2016-12-10)

We care about the future of our students and teachers.

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-09)

IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO...TO HASTEN TO THE RELIEF OF DISTRESSED WORTHY BROTEHRS & SISTERS IN THEIR TIME OF NEED!

(las vegas, 2016-12-09)

Coach Brown is passionate about her craft and dedicated to the team. It's hard to come across someone of her caliber.

(Killeen, 2016-12-10)

#49

I know Coach Brown's character and she is a wonderful person and coach

(Annapolis, 2016-12-10)

#50

Ms. Brown is an extraordinary teacher and coach. Her love and dedication to her students and her team, both on and off the court, is evident in her actions. She would give you the shirt off her back if you were in need. Let her do her job!! You will never find another more hardworking, intelligent, and dedicated educator and coach as Coach Brown. She is a gem - I stand with Coach Brown!

(Atlanta, 2016-12-10)

Im not a member of the girls basketball team but some of my close friends are and I see how good of a coach coach brown is. She's a good person all around she treats everyone the same no matter what. She is the coach Westover high school has been looking for.

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

The girls need their coach & this is unjust .

#67

Coach Tammy brown is a good coach and it's not fair for them to suspend her from her coaching duties when the school athletic director gave her approval

(Fayettville, 2016-12-10)

#70

It's sad how they literally fired her for no reason and I think she should have her job back. There were no problems or complaints on her...she's a good person and didn't do anything

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#72

I respect and love her as a coach and person.

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#LetCoachBrownCoach

(fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#86

Because I feel like the people that truly matter (the girls basketball team), don't have a say in the decision. They look up to Coach Brown as a mentor and as friend. The affect of her not coaching any more will have significant impact on the kids.

(Virginia Beach, 2016-12-10)

#92

I love coach brown an she didn't do anything wrong

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

(Annapolis, 2016-12-10)

#112

It's really dumb why they laid her off they don't know if she's going through something or not at the end of the day she's a human just like us and a coach

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#113

She is a really wonderful that served this country in the armed forces. Now she's serving her passion for basketball with those kids. Reinstate her immediately

(Annapolis Maryland, 2016-12-10)

#114

Coach brown needs to coach

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#115

She is a great person. She is very skilled and has much to over the girls on this team. What she does in her personal life should not matter

(Laurel, 2016-12-10)

#116

Tammy Brown is a passionate friend, teacher, abd coach who would NEVER jeopardize the safety of students/players. This suspension is unfounded and biased. Then to further prevent her from attending the game as a spectator is illegal and discriminatory. #letcoachbrowncoach

(Columbia, 2016-12-10)

#119

I'm signing because they are doing her dirty. Why would you take someone away from someone that makes them happy or that's making a difference having a great impact on teenagers life

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#124

She has really set a lot of people to high standards & really built them some confidence & gay marriage is legal , but gay coaching isn't ? That's not right & not fair at all ! #LETHERCOACH !

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#126

Tammy is a great coach.

(fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#133

They shouldn't let her stop coaching because she tried to do something sweet with the team that's dumb.

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#138

i don't know this lady but my school 71st high school varsity coach was stripped from her duties for the same reason and I know how it feels not to have a person you really adore & and half of our team quit just because of her not being coach . So I understand how those kids are feeling .

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#139

Coach Brown deserves to be coaching. I believe in what's fair and right. Coach Brown I is an amazing coach, teacher and just an amazing person in general.

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#142

I am a basketball player, I truly love much coach and everything he does. He's been more than a coach. I see where these girls are coming from.❤️

(Franklinton, 2016-12-10)

#145

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#146

This was pointless she really loves the game #letcoachbrowncoach

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#148

The way coach is treated is wrong, it's discrimination. She's done nothing wrong to anybody so why was she targeted? #letcoachbrowncoach

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#149

I am signing this petition to support my sister, her teammates and Coach Tammy Brown. She has had major impact the girls. Coach has made them better student athletes in the classroom and on the court. What else can you ask for in??? #ImWithCoachB #LetCoachBrownCoach

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#153

Let her coach!!!

(Annapolis, 2016-12-10)

#155

She came in and changed the morale of the girls and got a lot of things accomplished as far as making sure the team had everything they needed. I feel like the AD Mr. Greene needs to reprimanded too. Lies hurt and want to know something go to the source. #LetCoachBrownCoach

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#159

Justice for Tammy Brown

(Millersville, 2016-12-10)

#161

I have known Tammy Brown over 25 plus years as a classmate and friend and she is an upstanding individual in her community. As long as I have known her the love of basketball has been in her blood and exhibited through her talents on and off the court. I am signing this petition so that Tammy can continue to share her talents and mentor her students through the game that she loves. The Parent and Student protests taking place in her support should be an eye opener to the School Administration to reinstate her as coach!

(Annapolis, 2016-12-10)

#164

She should be able to coach , jus BC her sexuality is different from some doesn't mean she is any different she's still human , the Westover Gorls Basketball team needs their coach !!!!!!!

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#165

This is unfair. How do you legalize gay marriage and gay kids walk around school kissing even though thats against the student code of conduct but you fire a coach because of her sexual preference that's injustice and y'all know it!

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#167

Im signing this because noone should be fired because of their sexuality.

(FAYETTEVILLE, 2016-12-10)

I've grown to love this lady as a human , teacher & a friend ❤️

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#173

I'm signing this petition because we need to support teachers and staff that truly care for our children and their wellbeing!

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#174

Im signing because coach brown should still be able to coach her team and her team had a nice bond and they had no right tkt take that away from them

(Fayetteville nc, 2016-12-10)

#175

I am signing this petition because this coach has done no wrong. I think it's absolutely ridiculous that she is being punished for something that she did correctly.

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#177

It shouldn't matter what she likes. LET HER COUCH !!

#185

The principal is really abusing her power! Leaders like her need to be fired!!!

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-09)

#186

I don't feel it's right to strip a beloved coach of her job, especially if she's doing her job right. Just because of her sexuality, keep it professional. What she does in her bed is her business. As long as she's doing right by the students and her job why fire her?

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)

#188

Im signing because I don't think it was fair at all #letcoachbrowncoach

(Fayetteville, 2016-12-10)
