High school teacher fired for asking President Trump to deport undocumented students

A Texas high school teacher who thought she was private messaging anti-immigration tweets to President Donald Trump has been fired for asking the President to deport undocumented students. Georgia Clark in a series of tweets on May 17 wrote, "ISD is loaded with illegal students from Mexico. I really do need a contact here in FW who should be actively investigating & removing illegals that are in the public school system." Clark has been a high school English teacher in the Fort Worth Independent School District since 1998, the district said. In a special school board meeting on Tuesday night, a number of community members voiced very strong opinions against her tweets. The school board voted unanimously to terminate Clark's contract with good cause. Clark's attorney however said they'll be fighting her contract termination and will be asking for a hearing to contest her firing. Texas state law says that she has 15 days to appeal the decision with the state Education Agency. As that appeal process plays out, Clark technically will remain an employee and collect a paycheck. Clark was suspended without pay, and reassigned, in 2013 because she called a group of students working together and speaking Spanish, "Little Mexico," and she referred to another student as "white bread." In that same disciplinary report, Clark also allegedly made her students do an activity in which she separated her students by their race and told the "Mexicans" to cross the border to the other side of the classroom.The post High school teacherfired for asking President Trump to deport undocumented students appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
