It's a whole bunch of things. None of them any good. Schoolteachers enjoy some serious job protection, as do many government employees. Generally it is extremely difficult to fire someone at the federal level.

I can just about guarantee there are "educators" out there, many of them, who have done far, far worse than simply express an opinion and who held on to their job, or were reinstated with backpay, the whole nine yards. I'm too jaded to even bother to look it up. Too depressing.

They killed it. While you busy raising your family, working long hours, keeping your nose clean, the enemy was in the wire, making the long march through the institutions.

These are the good old days. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

The part where they get federal $$$ for every ass that sits in a seat.

“Education” is probably the biggest racket going, bar none.

Unless there is a Board Policy forbidding what she said, she should get a lawyer and sue the crap out of them.
Even though she is a Teacher she still retains her First Amendment Rights, sounds like the Board violated her RIGHTS because they don’t like what she said.
Unless the Board of Ed can prove she teaches her ILLEGAL ALIEN students in a different manner than her native born students they are on very thin ice.
Sounds like a case of Unlawful Termination to me.

Here’s a heads up kiddo; EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT IN AMERICA WORKS EXACTLY THE SAME WAY!
Was a member of CASBO (California Association of School Business Officials) for 33 years.
Been to lots of school districts, both in California and out of state.
THEY ARE ALL CORRUPT.

Seems she might have a 1st Amendment case here. The FW ISD is a public institution.

That this could happen in Texas is the really scary part.

For the people who still don't get it:

The entire public school system, K-12 and pretty much all the community colleges and universities IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY have been taken over by hardcore leftists. Period. Yes, in your state, too. Your kids are being indoctrinated as we speak. And yet we still have people claiming surprise.

Yep, I know a few teachers who constantly post some of the most hateful Anti-trump Statements on social media and get congratulations from their fellow left the teachers.

Here are her shocking words:


@realDonaldTrump I do not know what to do. Anything you can do to removed the illegals from Fort Worth would be greatly appreciated.

@realDonaldTrump I contacted the Texas Education Agency and then my teacher organization. Texas will not protect whistleblowers. The Mexicans refuse to honor our flag.


I went to get the tweets from Twitter, but her account was either locked by her or by Twitter. I did see a nice person threatening that she was coming for this teacher. Of course, Twitter won’t have a problem with that.

This is likely one of many teachers that are being purged for their beliefs

How did the district find out who made the tweet....?

Who ratted out the teacher?

How did the district confirm the teacher’s identity?

Did Twitter cough up the info?

I hope this teacher has Nick Sandman’s attorney’s number.

Freaking leftist A-holes.

But I must reiterate. Those who play on social media and use their own names should expect this sort of thing. Say your peace when you’ve decided this is the hill your ready to die on. And that day may be coming soon. But don’t be surprised when the worst happens.

It’s not a threat of violence. It’s made in her own time.

I’m not sure a government agency would have the right to impose a restriction on her speech, just like they can’t make her join a union.

So sue lady. Sue them into poverty. It’s not like the money is used to help American citizen students.
