Teacher Who Ranted About ‘Illegal Students’ Wins Appeal to Get Job Back

A Texas school district says there’s going to appeal the recommended reinstatement of a teacher who complained about alleged undocumented immigrants to President Donald Trump. They’re contesting the ruling from the Texas Education Agency, which said Georgia Clark should either get her job back or be paid one year of salary. ....

Clark’s case reached national attention when she tweeted about undocumented immigrants online. The high school teacher tagged Trump, saying that someone should be “actively investigating and removing the illegals” from the public school system. She wrote, “The Mexicans refuse to honor our flag.” Clark complained about “illegal students from Mexico” going to her school district, and her workplace of Carter-Riverside High School being “taken over” by “drug dealers.”

She was fired in June, and the school district upheld her termination in September. Clark had also been accused of making disparaging remarks, such as calling a group of Hispanic students “Little Mexico.” In another incident, when a student asked to use the bathroom, Clark allegedly asked them to show their papers “saying you are legal.” The state determined that the school district violated Clark’s First Amendment rights by firing her over the tweets. ....

She was asked in a September interview what she would say to the local Hispanic community.

“If you need someone to help your child graduate, you’re looking at her right here,” she told WFAA.

She defended her tweets.

“Because frankly, God was saying, ‘It’s time. You need to do this now,'” she said.

1. When "God" is speaking to you, you have an issue.

It just makes me ill every time a person like this uses their god as an excuse for their behavior. That's how people excused the Crusades, the Inquisition and 9/11. It's how they excuse suicide bombing.

Most of you are probably too young to remember Flip Wilson's character Geraldine. I believe she often said "The devil made me do it." That seems far more accurate.
