TX teacher tweets @Trump for help ridding school of illegals

[redheadbaker]

Why the fuck is this woman still a teacher, given she was ALREADY under investigation for other comments made in the classroom??

Georgia Clark, a veteran high school English teacher in Fort Worth, had an urgent request for President Trump: She needed help pulling undocumented immigrants from her school.

“Mr. President, Fort Worth Independent School District is loaded with illegal students from Mexico,” Clark wrote May 17 on her now-deleted Twitter account, @rebecca1939. “Anything you can do to remove the illegals from Fort Worth would be greatly appreciated,” she wrote in another tweet.

Clark was careful in her approach, she believed, and told the president she needed guarantees her identity would be protected when action was taken. “Texas will not protect whistle blowers. The Mexicans refuse to honor our flag,” she wrote.

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.

.........

Clark, an English teacher at Carter-Riverside High School, has worked with the district since 1998, the review said, and has a history of violations — including insulting her students’ ethnicity. Even before the tweets came to light, the district was already investigating separate allegations of derogatory remarks from Clark in the classroom.

Last month, when one student asked to go to the bathroom, Clark told the student to “show me your papers that are saying you are legal,” a student told investigators, which was corroborated by another student.

Obviously this is shitty. But I legit laughed out loud that she thought the tweets were private between her and the President!

[WOT?*]

She kicked a student but it was "without malice"
She called students names?
She was derogatory about entire ethnicities?
And she's been teaching there for TWENTY ONE YEARS? And STILL teaches there? What the everloving fuck is that?

(And thinking a Twitter conversation is private is a whole 'nother level of stupidity.)

So this idiot is talking about Mexicans. She’s not talking about other immigrant populations. The only “illegals” in Texas in her eyes are Mexicans.

I wish everyone understood just how many Mexican Americans live in this country and how long we’ve lived here. We can trace our indigenous ancestors back 15,000 years to the areas that make up the Southwest and Texas. Then the Spanish conquistadors came about 400 years go (essentially the “white man” but now considered not entirely white by Trumpsters.)

My point is fuck all these people who think ALL Latinx people are “illegal”. they need to get their asses across the pond to their home countries, because we were here first.

I’m so tired of the ignorance and arrogance of both the right and left when it comes to the history of Latinx people in the US and especially the specific history and relationship between the US and Mexico.

There's just so...MUCH to take offense at in her comments, it's hard to parse any of it. I really hope they fire her fast.

Right? My family has been in what is now the Austin area since, well forever. Not to mention my Mayan ancestry.The borders might have changed around us, the flags flying over us have changed, but we've been here longer than any Mayflower ass, so they can kiss mine.

How do you kick someone without malice? Asking for a friend.

woah, her history made me gasp. I hope to high heavens that she is fired immediately. And publicly shamed.

It drives me batty! Look at the original border with Mexico - these aren't immigrants, these are our people. We're on their land!

I almost hate saying that though because I worry I could be endorsing treating immigrants from elsewhere like shit.

Right? The fact that she included her phone number in the tweets is absurd.
