A two-fer - both from the Fort Worth, Texas Star-Telegram. First:
Fort Worth teacher fired after tweets to Trump about ‘illegal students’ wins appeal
A Fort Worth English teacher who was fired after tweeting President Donald Trump and asking him to crack down on immigration at Carter-Riverside High School won her appeal Monday.
Texas Education Agency Commissioner Mike Morath ruled Georgia Clark is entitled to get her job back, along with back pay and employment benefits from the time her contract was not renewed. Or, instead of reinstatement, the school district may pay her one year of salary.
“It appears the commissioner ruled the way he did based on a technicality and we are exploring all of our options,” said Barbara Griffith, a spokeswoman for the school district. “This is all we are going to say right now as we have not yet had a chance to review and analyze the entire decision.”
But of course, Social Justice Warriors always double-down. Second:
Fort Worth appeals ruling to rehire teacher who tweeted Trump about ‘illegal students’
Fort Worth school officials will appeal Monday’s ruling by the state education commissioner that they reinstate an English teacher who was fired after asking President Donald Trump on Twitter to crack down on immigration at Carter-Riverside High School.
Georgia Clark won an appeal of her firing when Texas Education Agency Commissioner Mike Morath ruled she is entitled to get her job back, along with back pay and benefits. Or instead of reinstatement, the school district could pay her one year of salary.
“The Commissioner’s decision was not based on the merits of the case but rather a procedural technicality with which the District does not agree,” Fort Worth school officials said in a statement. The district said it would appeal the decision within 20 days.
The person pushing for Clark's firing and the appeal against her reinstatement is the Fort Worth school board president is Jacinto Ramos. Any reason he should be favorable to illegal hispanic immigrants?
