A hearing has been set in the appeal case of Georgia N. Clark, the Carter-Riverside teacher whose Twitter posts against immigrant students sparked a backlash and prompted the Fort Worth school board to recommend that she be fired.
In June, the Fort Worth school board voted 8-0 in favor of Georgia Clark’s “proposed termination.” Trustee T.S. Sims was not present for the vote. Superintendent Kent P. Scribner recommended that Clark be terminated based on her use of racially insensitive language and her abuse of social media.
Clark’s attorney, Brandon Y. Brim, told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram via email last month that Clark “intends to request a hearing for the purpose of contesting the proposed action against her contract.”
The hearing has been set for Aug. 5-7 at the Fort Worth school district’s board conference room, according to district.
Brim did not immediately return a request for comment Tuesday morning.
Clint Bond, district spokesman, said Clark had not requested that the hearing be held in public as of Tuesday morning. The district didn’t have any further comment.
Clark, an English teacher, was placed on administrative leave after the district was alerted about Twitter posts that she directed to President Donald Trump. A Twitter account using her name circulated a series of tweets that asked Trump to crack down on immigration at Carter-Riverside High School.
One tweet listed her phone numbers and asked Trump to help remove “illegals from Fort Worth.”
Clark told a district investigator she thought the messages were private.

Wow, just wow. No disciplinary action, no warming - “termination”.
Thou shalt not have a(n conservative) opinion.
I don’t know what abuse of social media is, and the teacher was commenting on legal status, not race. A good lawyer should be able to eat them for lunch.
Why is it wrong to ask the President to enforce the laws?
Free speech only applies to democraps and illegals.
Liars. She said NOTHING about any particular students.
Just illegal aliens.
Guess what, media? I hate them, too. They’re criminals and selfish. Millions wait to legally immigrate here from all over the world, yet these self-centered punks, who know it’s wrong, just waltz in ahead of everyone else waiting?
Hell NO!
She was concerned about illegals not “immigrants”.
She was concerned about illegals not “immigrants”.
They are trying to make immigrants include illegals.
Its factually wrong.
Socialism Media is what Tweeter is... No free speech on it...
Micheal Savage had a caller 2 weeks ago (legal imigrant) who said that the Mojados will not assimilate due to zero need. They will find many places/businesses that will cater to them speaking spanish.
This pretty much mirrors what a Denver friend of mine used to say about her Denver-area students. She taught in a district north of central Denver. Her students were mostly Hispanic, undoubtedly mostly illegals. I remember my friend telling me how utterly not interested in learning these kids were. She had even gone to Mexico to hone her Spanish, as she was an English-as-a-second-language teacher. Such a dedicated teacher, yet unable to make much of a dent in her lazy unambitious students. She quit teaching after some years because it was akin to beating her head against a wall.
This is what many teachers of illegals encounter, myself included. Gone is the attitude of being eager to learn English and becoming a real patriotic American, as previous newcomers had. Now, they see little reason to devote themselves to learning English or applying themselves to their academic subjects because they live in their own little ghettos where everyone understands the lingo, and because they get free housing, education, food, medical care and legal aid, on our dime, raising them to a level far above what they had back home. So why bust their behinds to learn anything? They knew enough to sneak into our country and could then count on the brain dead libtard morons who clutter our legislative halls to grant them a living from OUR labors.
Defending criminals. Attacking citizens.
This is a violation of the first amendment.
The LIB nitwits on the school board should be terminated . Didn’t these PC fools ever hear of the first amendment ? ?? What incredible pathetic losers.
