We make this statement as a sign of solidarity for Aisha Hiza, who has been barred from attending this meeting, and her daughter, a student of your school system. We are dismayed by the current actions of the School Committee. What began as a mother's attempt to protect her daughter from violent bullying, motivated by racial discrimination, has spiraled into a violation of Aisha and her daughter's civil, educational and parental rights. The actions of The ‘Committee culminated in a Stay Away Order (hereafter "The Order,” presented to Aisha via her personal email account on March 15th, 2016. Aisha's attempts to obtain due process and speak with The Committee have not been addressed, rendering her voiceless before the committee. The attempts to silence Aisha have not gone unnoticed. Your mission is “The academic achievement of every student learning in a system dedicated to social justice and multiculturalism.” We ourselves were once students taught by this school system and itis clear to us that recent actions taken by the committee are in direct opposition to this mission. We call on the schoo! board to 1) immediately lift any orders against Aisha blocking her from exercising her first amendment rights, adequately caring for her child, and interacting with her daughter's schooling and 2) for the committee to undertake a full investigation into actions against Aisha and her family. We as a community stand strong behind Aisha and her daughter and will look forward to the swift resolution of this matter. Sincerely, the undersigned,
