Fort Worth teacher who tweeted at Trump to 'remove the illegals' officially terminated

FORT WORTH, Texas (KEYE) -- A Fort Worth Independent School District high school teacher who tweeted numerous anti-immigration comments to President Donald Trump is no longer employed by the district.

According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Fort Worth school board voted 8-0 to terminate Georgia Clark after she posted a series of tweets earlier this year that asked Trump to crack down on immigration at Carter-Riverside High School. One of the tweets listed her phone numbers and asked that Trump help remove “illegals from Fort Worth.”

The tweets, which garnered attention in May, included the following:

@realDonaldTrump Mr. President, I asked for assistance in reporting illegal immigrants in the FWISD public school system and what I received was an alarming tweet from someone identifying himself as one of your assistants followed by a second tweet from the same person — cont.

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

Carter-Riverside High School's website listed Clark as a member of the faculty in English language arts.

“We made a decision today to uphold the recommendation from the superintendent and administration,” Jacinto “Cinto” Ramos Jr., president of the school board, told the Star-Telegram after the vote was taken. “We felt there was good cause to terminate the contract of Ms. Georgia Clark.”

Clark can still appeal the board’s decision directly to the Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath.
