District officials voted to fire a Texas English teacher Tuesday, following tweets to President Donald Trump about illegal immigrants in the Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD).
Unfortunately, school officials in major Texas cities are as Blue as in any coastal area.
“The Board approved her ‘proposed’ termination, in the words of the Board president, Jacinto Ramos, Jr., ‘…based both upon Ms. Clark’s conduct, and the fact that the public reaction to her conduct has been highly negative and, therefore compromised and diminished her effectiveness as a teacher within Fort Worth ISD,’” Bond said.
In other words, she’s a troublemaker and so she has to go. Apparently her effectiveness as a teacher is judged by how ‘woke’ she is.
I shouldn’t have to remind everyone not to send their kids to a government school.

Since when is it illegal to ask the government to enforce the law?
This is beyond absurd.
The sad reality is that school boards do not exist to educate your children. They exist to spend money, carefully making sure the money makes it to the right political connections. School boards hire a superintendent to keep parents from interfering with their spending, and superintendents hire principals to keep the teachers reined in and not cause controversy. Teachers and other staff members are on the lowest end of this pyramid and take the brunt of any blame or punishment that is dealt. The system works because students come out stupid enough to believe that this is a great system.
