]]> Fri, 16 Aug 2019 01:13:03 UTC 23210811 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/23209326?utm_medium=rss I take sexual harassment very seriously - and that is not what happened here. Please don't penalize a respected Native author for what's a non-sexual, non-threatening everyday gesture in the South. Doing so protects no one, it only causes terrible harm to Mr. Tingle, who has done nothing wrong. Thank you.

He is a strong man of honor and integrity.

This decision by Scholastic, based on allegations and misunderstanding, is unfair and hurtful to both him and all who benefit from knowing him and his good work.

Tim Tingle has my support.

]]> Fri, 9 Aug 2019 04:39:46 UTC 23204623 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/23204621?utm_medium=rss I know Tim as a Native American (Mi’kmaq) author. This charge is ridiculous - as Yim is a warm human being, a southern Native storyteller and a sympathetic friend who helped me during a period of grieving.

He has been slandered by two strangers who do not know or understand his nature or his culture. This simple misunderstanding could have easily been resolved on the spot. Instead, Scholastic Press has made a hasty and ill-informed rush to judgement based solely on two women's shock at being touched (at all) without understanding the cultural norms behind the gesture. This is a classic example of a non-Native misunderstanding of Native people. Shame on Scholastic! I enthusiastically testify to the steller character of Tim Tingle, and I wish to send him a gesture of support (accompanied by the gentle touch of a kind hand).

I support Tim Tingle without hesitation or reservation in this matter.

]]> Thu, 8 Aug 2019 10:05:05 UTC 23203395 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/23203365?utm_medium=rss Head and knee patting are not sexual abuse. Tim Tingle is an exceptional human being, one who has never treated women poorly. It is exceptionally unfair to drop Mr. Tingle from his publishing contract with you over such minor accusations--accusations he never had an opportunity to answer.

I support him wholeheartedly. He is highly respected within our Native American writing circles.

I've only ever heard glowing reports of his generosity and kindness in mentoring others. The behavior he is alleged to have done that succeeded in canceling his forthcoming book wasn't alleged to be sexual harassment. It's outrageous to rush to wreck a distinguished career over such a minor misunderstanding.
