You should definitely take this to whatever level you see fit to make sure your first amendment rights are not trampled! Read over the school’s guidelines and if necessary take them to an attorney for an assessment. It is also important to include some teachers in your endeavor. One should not compromise the integrity of well fundamental values and standards. Defend yourselves and your firm beliefs. Stop being mere ‘sheeple’ and use the education you’re receiving for the development of free and critical thinking!

I would find out why the teacher was fired. Maybe there is more to the story than y’all understand. Second after you know the whole story then I would fight for the teacher if you still want them to be at your school.

The school can’t dock you points because you are speaking your mind, public or private. Let them know you are not going to stand for that either. Just because you are students, doesn’t mean you are going to allow them to bully you into doing what they say.

Let the administrators know the reasons why you liked the teacher, what you learned, how he changed your life, or stretched you to be a better musician. that will help then just saying “bring him back”

The most you could do at this point is let administration know how much you liked this teacher and how much he influenced students – and if nothing else, make sure you let this teacher know how much of an influence he has had on you and others. I am sure if this teacher has gone to another school, they are the lucky ones – you could transfer to the school that he is at if it means that much to you. Or your parents who are footing the bill for your education.

It’s a tough call. Do let the music teacher know that he has helped you in your education. That is music to a teacher’s ears…
