Sam Lazzara, a musical instructor, was terminated by Vincent Tompkins, the head of Saint Ann's School in Brooklyn, for using the f-bomb while raising his voice at a child who he felt was making other children nervous. The goal is to collect as many signatures on this petition; asking for Sam's reinstatement from students, colleagues, parents, and alumni.
Why is this important?
The fact that Sam Lazzara being one of the most kindhearted and considerate human beings some of the students and alumni have ever met disheartens those that trust the school, and that trust Vincent Tompkins in his final year at the school for making this decision. For future students to come, they need to feel the nurturing and love that teachers like Sam provided.
