A Texas school board voted unanimously to fire a teacher who asked President Trump to investigate and remove illegal immigrants enrolled in her high school.
Georgia Clark, a high school English teacher who had been in her post for 21 years, asked Trump in multiple tweets to begin “actively investigating and removing the illegals that are in the public school system.” The school board voted on Tuesday to remove Clark.
“Mr. President, Fort Worth Independent School District is loaded with illegal students from Mexico. Carter-Riverside High School has been taken over by them. Drug dealers are on our campus and nothing was done to them when the drug dogs found the evidence,” Clark tweeted on May 17 from her now-deleted Twitter account.
“Anything you can do to remove the illegals from Fort Worth would be greatly appreciated,” Clark said.

Carter-Riverside High School Superintendent Kent Scribner addressed the firing in a statement on the school district’s Facebook page.
“Our mission is to prepare ALL students for success in college, career and community leadership,” Scribner said. “Let me reiterate our commitment that every child in the District is welcome and is to be treated with dignity and respect.”
During an investigation into the tweets, Clark admitted she sent them but said she thought she was messaging Trump privately and directly, not posting publicly.
