QHS district upholds "bullying of a student"

After a recent school board meeting, QHS district upheld allegations against a coach/teacher accused of "bullying" a cheerleader.

Why is this important?

This petition is to protect our children and be a voice for others that "bullying" will not be tolerated.
My daughter is a honor student and varsity cheerleader for this school, and has been for several years. Recently she was removed from the squad by her coach who accused her of being disrespectful. This came directly after the coach and I had a disagreement. No definitive proof was given by the coach or principal. After being singled out, and dismissed from the squad she has been made to feel belittled by her peers and a loss of self worth. Her grades have dropped and all of her spirit is drained. This coach has crushed her dreams and made her feel like she has done something terrible. I need help with this situation because the school and board of education is upholding this decision. Our children are our future and our coaches/teachers are suppose to be role models and there to encourage, not "bully"!
