Teacher Fired After Reporting Undocumented Students To Trump On Twitter

An English high school teacher in Texas was fired this week after she had sent social media postings directed at President Donald Trump, urging his administration to take action on undocumented students within her district.

The Fort Worth Independent School District school board voted 8-0 in favor of firing Georgia Clark, the teacher in question. She can appeal the decision to the Texas Education Agency Commission within 15 days, according to ABC13 in Houston.

Clark was a teacher at Carter-Riverside High School. She had tweeted directly to Trump, sending him messages about how her school had been “taken over” by “illegal students from Mexico.”
“Anything you can do to remove the illegals from Fort Worth would be greatly appreciated,” Clark wrote in one tweet to Trump, per reporting from Fox News.

Clark is not unfamiliar with charges of racism against her. In 2013, she was suspended for making remarks in which she referred to a group of students in her school’s hallways as “Little Mexico,” ... She also allegedly separated her classroom by race, with white and black students on one side and Hispanic students on the other.

Clark also was previously investigated for asking a student for their “papers” when they asked to use the restroom. “You are illegal,” she allegedly told the student who made the request.

How would she know who is legal and who is not? Mexican heritage in Texas as a US citizen is perfectly possible if not likely.

1. Why was she not fired years ago for being racist?

2. How can a teacher, supposedly in possession of some intelligence, believe that twitter is a personal line to the Rump?

The region of the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas commonly referred to as Mexican Texas declared its independence from Mexico during the Texas Revolution in 1836.
On February 28, 1845, the US Congress passed a bill that authorized the United States to annex the Republic of Texas.
The Texas war of independence ended on April 21, 1836, but Mexico refused to recognize the independence of the Republic of Texas, and intermittent conflicts between the two states continued into the 1840s.

On February 28, 1845, the US Congress passed a bill that authorized the United States to annex the Republic of Texas.
