superintendent carranza and the board of education, i'm elizabeth jones and here to speak tonight on behalf of the school of the arts instrumental departments and many other departments at school of the arts that he had an impact on in a very positive way. he begin interdisciplinary shows, through theater departments and visual departments. he has gone above and beyond in and outside of class giving us opportunities and experiences that we would -- i believe that we would not have had without him. on my first day of instrumental music on my freshman year we began the firebird and it's not an easy piece and it was an amazing opportunity. and he continued to do so over the next three years, three and a half years he has been at school. and now we're left without a teacher, without a conductor, without a leader to guide the department and we all feel this is very unfair and not okay. thank you for listening. and i worked with superintendent carranza and he knows that -- and where other have attended such shows and know what high-level we perform at. so i would like you to consider that

abouts a misunderstanding the carranza commands muslims to kill non-muslims? to go to heaven. carranza -- the koran is to encourage muslims to torture, kill, humiliate, subordinate non-muslims. kill that in the word does not mean kill? sameis imam is saying the thing we have been hearing over and over and over again. politicians ind they say islam is a religion of peace. every religion is posted be a religion -- is supposed to be a religion of peace. but these are diplomats. media,level of the intellectual honesty, academia, we have to be more honest in that. 2009, president obama went to egypt and gave a speech. were you there? >> i was here in america but i heard the speech. >> let's listen to a minute of it and get your take on it. >> i also know that islam has always been a part of america's story. the first nation to recognize my country was morocco. in signing the treaty of tripoli in 1796, our second president, john adams, wrote, "the united states has, in itself, no character of empathy against the laws, religion, or tranquilly of muslims." since our founding, american

and superintendent carranza, i'm a pediatrician and a father of a kindergartner and second grader at an alternative school korean immersion program and thank you commissioner haney for this very important resolution. gun violence is a real problem for children in the city. i have had patients afraid to play outside and others nearly shot outside. every summer we have patients being treated for gunshot wounds. as a second and third leading cause of death for young people in the united states, we can't ignore that suicide and homicides often involve guns. where are the guns coming from? more than 75% of guns used in suicide attempts were stored in the residence of a victim, relative or friend. i spend my day providing medical care and discussing safety with parents and children and i ask them all about guns in the home. what is clear is that the absence from children's home and communitis is the most reliability and effective measure to prevent gun violence as stated by the american academy of pediatrics and safe storage practices such as keeping guns unloaded and locked and ammunition
