Racist Request gets Teacher Fired in USA
Georgia Clark thought she was privately messaging anti-immigration 'tweets' to President Donald Trump.
In a series of tweets she 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."
With this tweet, she created fear as a teacher on many parents absentmindedly.
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, 4ht May, 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. Meanwhile, Clark technically will remain an employee and collect a paycheck.
Clark in 2013 was suspended without pay, which she later resigned reassigned, for calling 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.
