Fort Worth ISD School Board To Consider Rehiring Teacher Despite Illegal Immigration Twitter Rant

FORT WORTH, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - The Fort Worth ISD school board will reconsider giving a teacher who tweeted about illegal students her job back.

Georgia Clark was terminated after posting a string of illegal immigration comments in June to President Donald Trump from a now-deleted Twitter account.

One of the tweets said, "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."

A state hearing examiner will address the board tonight in executive session. The examiner said Clark's firing is not justified and should not be upheld.
