We Kneel With Mr. Rust

The school board desires to transfer Mr. Rust, AP United States History teacher, Black Student Union Advisor, and former Mock Trials Advisor to Liberty High School.

The decision to transfer Mr.Rust occurred as a result of past parent complaints as well as some complaints from a couple of teachers for forcing students to think critically. For example, he asks students to question the actions of the goverment, the role of the military, and bias in our textbooks.

We believe that Mr.Rust is vital to our campus for his role in the facilitation of controversial conversations and the promotion of minority inclusion on our campus.

A transfer would mean the school board fails to recognize the need for greater inclusion of minorities on the Heritage campus, and seeks to address parent complaints by meeting parents demands, as opposed to student needs.

Mr. Rust currently stands as one of the few teachers who emboldens and challenges students at Heritage inside and outside the classroom: acting as an advisor to both Mock Trials and Black Student Union. His encouragement of civic engagement and active participation in our community deserves to be awarded, not dismissed.

In addition, because of understaffing the school will need to replace the only National Board Certified Teacher at Heritage High School.

SIGN THE PETITION TO KEEP MR. RUST AT HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL. Help him to continue to contribute to the Heritage community by cultivating an environment where students truly learn!!!
