In the Fort Worth, Texas school district, teacher Georgia Clark was suspended over a social media controversy. On the social media platform Twitter, she tweeted at President Trump about her views on illegal immigration. one of her posts asked for the president’s help to remove “illegals from Fort Worth.”

She taught at Carter-Riverside High School in the Texas school district, whose student body is about 90% Hispanic, which may have led to her suspension. As far as what will happen next, it is unclear because the school district’s policies outline a suspension, a reprimand, or dismissal depending on the circumstance.
