Keep an AWESOME history teacher!
One of my sisterās history teachers, called Mr. Gilbert, was asked to leave the country along with the rest of his family by June 2018 because of new and horrible immigration laws, and I really donāt want that to happen! My brilliant sister made a petition to our senators (weāre from NJ) that summarizes the problem better than I can:
āBoth teachers, he and his wife have submitted applications for green cards and both have not been successful. His children were born in the United States, but we are worried about what this could mean for his family. Mr. Gilbert is a beloved teacher among our school community and he contributes incredibly unique perspectives to each and every one of his classes.Ā ā
The thing is, heās a history teacher that actively makes sure every voice is heard and every story is told, and he doesnāt erase minorities or their struggles when he does so. Iāve seen his impact and I can tell you we need people like him especially in times like these to keep our forces aligned and strong. So please,
sign the petition here (ESPECIALLY if you live in NJ): Ā Ā https://www.change.org/p/cory-booker-mr-gilbert-s-story?recruiter=501005594&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=autopublish&utm_term=mob-xs-share_petition-reason_msg
