Texas high school teacher Georgia Clark, who worked at the Fort Worth Independent School District for over 20 years, was fired by the board after posting tweets asking President Trump to remove illegal immigrants from her school.
Eight board members voted unanimously to terminate her contract.
The tweets created controversy at her school which reportedly consists of a student body that is 1/3 Hispanic.
What She Said
“Mr. President, Fort Worth Independent School District is loaded with illegal students from Mexico,” she wrote in a since-deleted post. “Carter-Riverside High School has been taken over by them.”
“Anything you can do to remove the illegals from Fort Worth would be greatly appreciated,” she added.
In another, she presciently noted “Texas will not protect whistleblowers” and “the Mexicans refuse to honor our flag.”
The Washington Post: Georgia Clark says she didn’t mean for everyone to see her thoughts and requests on immigration. She says she believed the tweets were private between her and the president. https://t.co/h4lIJGuwws

The Board’s Response
“This board has a strong record of supporting students and their quest for success, college, career and community leadership,” Superintendent Kent Scribner said. “Fort Worth serves 86,000 students, and it is our goal that we treat each one with dignity and respect, and based on the information that we have, we think this is the most responsible recommendation at this time.”

The teacher was not present at the meeting according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and nobody spoke in support of her during the public commentary period.
A school district review indicates Clark was being investigated for separate remarks, but the board’s vote was a clear-cut response to these social media posts.
Clark allegedly thought her tweets were private. She has two weeks to appeal the decision and receive a due process hearing. Until then, she remains on leave with pay.
Illegal Immigration in Texas
In the offending tweets, Clark notes that the school has seen a rise in drug activity as illegal aliens continue to enter.
Texas, in general, has seen their fair share of other problems due to illegals entering the state.
In May, reports surfaced that illegals were being flown to California as a means to relieve overcrowding in the Rio Grande Valley. Also last month, an illegal immigrant from Kenya was charged with smothering and killing a dozen women ranging in age from 76 to 94 in the state of Texas.
While it remains to be seen what other problems their investigation uncovered, the fact that this school board voted specifically on these tweets, siding with illegal immigrants over the teacher, is troubling.

We really do need to run off all those carpet baggers if they want to bring their trash ideas with them. Want to be a Texan then act like one!!!
She has the right to say what she wants why is it ok for all the Democrats to say what they want and get away with it, free speech and I’m with her 😡
The school board should all be fired for using hearsay information against this good teacher!
Freedom of speech, she has a right to have her opinion.
My tax dollars can pay for a womans abortion I didn’t even sleep with, let alone even know. My tax dollars can pay for illegal immigrants food and housing that wasn’t invited here. Why can’t my tax dollars pay for my 86 year old mothers hip replacement she so badly needs? Why?
So much for that “First Amendment – Freedom of Speech” thing! She needs a good lawyer.
66
Shame on you Ft. Worth!
She has EVERY RIGHT to ask her GOV’T. to solve our problems! It is one of our FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS! TO SEEK REDRESS for our laws. SHE is a taxpayer, with the right of FREE SPEECH! Let’s see if she gets help with this! Unbelievable!
People thru out America need to wake up to the fact that the schools are HIGHLY LIBERALIZED. This is true not only on the college level, it is happening starting with grade school. Teachers will brain wash your children and those who are raised in a conservative household will one day shock their parents when they discover that their children are liberal zombies who will follow the liberal doctrine to the letter.
Teachers who do not follow the liberal agenda will find themselves on the outside of their own institution.
It is a well organized machine and I think a large reason why our younger generations think that socialism is an OK thing. It is an insidious danger looming over America today and I am not sure that it can be stopped at this late date.
A free republic, at its creation, carries the seeds of its destruction~ voting booths. Rid yourselves of anti-Sovereignty, open-border Fascists, or watch America be dissolved. (Do you think that I am kidding?)
The school board was wrong to fire her!
liberals say outrageous things in universities and they get a pass because they made those comments on their own time and off campus. She did same and gets fired?
Insanity reigns wherever dems control!
This school board should hold a circular firing squad in the parking lot, which will put them out of their misery.
They seem to be a gaggle of Demented-Dems who have forgotten about America.
Texas is going to heck in a handbag thanks to the disgusting DEMONazis and libs taking over the big cities. Wherever they take over, destruction of the Constitution, our rights and our freedoms is cemented. No longer the GREAT state of Texas …
First she should appeal and when she looses that, she should sue. Unless her contract forbids the posting or talking about political issues, they have absolutely no grounds (but I’m sure they are looking for other reasons to get rid of her now). When you teach, you do not give up your First Amendment rights, especially outside the classroom.
So much for freedom of speech
The school board was acting in the best interest of the 86,000 students? I call bullshiite. They were acting in their own interest. Keeping the Federal money flowing for all those illegals. They get x amount of dollars for every student enrolled. legal or illegal. The hell with this poor old white women, they can get two new graduate teacher’s for the same money.
Let us begin by praying for this lovely American teacher and those as the same mind and thinking as her. Pray for her to be victorious in this. The left is no fighting for this country and neither are those who vote for them and that is the problem.
Sounds like the School board members are deliberately and willfully breaking the laws of the country…a little jail time will help them understand what it means to be law abiding citizens…
HORRENDOUS action by this Ft. Worth school board!! They are UN-AMERICAN USURPERS— LEFTISTS (spirit-of-Anti-Christ minions-of-destruction,… NOT ‘liberal’, but LEFTISTS),… seeking to UNDERMINE OUR U.S. CONSTITUTION,… The ‘Babylon-Globalists’ are insidiously twisting the meaning of words like ‘dignity’, .. ‘respect’,… and ‘compassion’. The meaning of these words are being turned inside-out, and upside-down,… in order to inject a bitter ‘PC’, Anti-Americanism,…and anti-Biblical,.. Emotionalism-based ‘view’, and ‘vision’ of how life SHOULD BE,… according to the wisdom-of-Man, and the ‘righteousness-of-man’,… in contradiction to the TRUTH’ and rightness off the Holy Spirit of God.
The Babylon-Globalist’s P-C righteousness is the LIE that drives LEFTIST-INSANITY which is SPIRITUAL-DARKNESS disguised as light-kindness-and-goodness,.. because it seeks ‘equality-and-inclusion’ of ALL ideas—-except principles of truth of the Bible,.. which deems that ONLY the Holy Spirit,… God’s Truth and Salvation by trust in the ‘work’ of Jesus Christ can ‘UNITE’ Mankind,…
…..
HUMANS will NOT be united by the insidious- manipulations of the ‘wise’ and ‘powerful’ political-leaders, and their cohorts in Media-Academia-entertainment, who desire to see a FAKE unification of all humanity.
The destructive ‘hobby-horses’ of the LEFT (spirit-of-Anti-Christ) are ALL part or this OPEN-BORDERS,.. OPEN-SOCIETY polemic.
It MUST oppose ‘sovereign nations’…

Why should these invaders be treated with dignity and respect? They are criminals leeching off of American taxpayers. The operative word is “illegal”. The teacher should be rehired, and the school board should be fired and deported right along with all their illegal little darlings.
So, according to the Fort Worth school board, asking that the LAW be ENFORCED is grounds for dismissal? This is dead wrong, and is a symptom of what is wrong with things in this country today. I agree with the teacher. LAWS MUST BE ENFORCED, then education can take place! HER rights are being denied in preference to pandering to ILLEGAL ALIENS. This situation is nothing but a planned, and coordinated INVASION.
Maybe the President can do something with It or possibly move her to a new district, sometimes he Involves himself with matters If he feels It’s wrong, I think this is one.
You sound like a liberal who knows nothing about her teaching situation but wants to give her advice on what she should do. You may not want to get involved in correcting bad situations, but others have morals to live by.
I’m a Trump supporter and against illegal immigration.
She did the right thing and was punished for it. She should sue the school board.
THEY ARE SO OUT OF DATE!!
I WROTE ROD “SERLING” – NOT STERLING! NOW MY COMPUTER THINKS ITS SMARTER THAN A HUMAN!! HA HA! BUT NOT SMARTER THAN FORTWORTH ISD!

Aparently you CAN ‘Mess with Texas’ if you’re illegal.
Our country is being taken over by illegal aliens and their liberal sympathizers in every corners. If this trend continues, we will turn our country into a third world country running by liberal politicians who have no clue how to govern a country.
It is very troubling that illegal immigrants awarded over a American citizen. What happened to Mrs. Clark’s right to free speech. Americans First. This sounds like Federal law suits. The Federal Education Department should be stepping in here.
Liberals can say anytand there is no consequence, people have a right to express their concerns over issues that effect their lives and not be fired.
Sue them

What does a letter to the president have to do with not treating each student with dignity and respect? Totally unrelated except in the minds of liberals who want to punish anyone who asks Trump for help. “based on the information that we have” is a catch all phrase which means there is no specific charge against the teacher that would warent her dismissal.
The school board of Fort Worthless are all ILLEGALS
FORT WORTHLESS
She’s so right. I worked construction for forty years and what has happened to the industry? Those hard working illegals have replaced americans in one trade after another. I’ve been on jobs where the safety meeting had to be held in spanish. The employers like having workers who work cheap and ignore any safety issues on the job. They took jobs from hard working people who needed those jobs to support their families. None of them were jobs americans wouldn’t do. That’s the biggest lie the liberals tell and nothing is further from the truth.
just put best contact info i could find on board and school above
Anybody have the web address and phone number for the school?
posting here is great.
lets get loud and back this teacher.
Every Politician that supports illegals has broken their oath of office, our laws and constitution. Time for Political Figures to be fired.
Over Run our Country with Illegals, we will fall. The Globalist will win
They are going to have to change the name of the city to Fort Worthless
I can’t believe nobody in the community spoke up on her behalf. Wait until there taxes go up
the r’s biggest problem has been a lack of spine call write, stop in if it is local and point out the incredible opportunities they are being handed
the ads write themselves
