Texas Teacher, Fired for Supporting Immigration Restriction, Wins Appeal & Gets Her Job Back
The school district is appealing the decision though.
Georgia Clark, a teacher who was removed from her job for making Twitter posts about illegal immigrants at her Texas high school, will likely be getting her position back.
Clark won an appeal against the school, and she is expected to be reinstated to her position. Per the ruling, Clark will either receive back pay and employment benefits or district officials will be forced to give her one year’s salary.
She was punished for expressing her concern about the number of illegal immigrants at her school. She sent public Twitter post at President Donald Trump’s account that she thought were private direct messages.

“Mr. President, Fort Worth Independent School District is loaded with illegal students from Mexico,” one of Clark’s controversial Twitter posts read. “Carter-Riverside High School has been taken over by them.”
“I really do need a contact here in FW who should be actively investigating & removing illegals that are in the public school system,” she wrote in another Twitter post.
A compilation of Clark’s many posts to President Trump can be seen here:

Texas Education Agency Commissioner Mike Morath determined that Clark’s 1st Amendment rights were infringed by her removal as a teacher. The school officials had previously determined that Clark had signed away all of her rights when she signed a contract with the district, but Morath ultimately overruled their anti-constitutional claim.
Despite being overruled, school officials will appeal Morath’s decision in the hopes to keep her out of the classroom. They dislike that their authority was subverted, and wish to continue ignoring the problem regarding illegal immigrants in their school.
“It appears the commissioner ruled the way he did based on a technicality, and we are exploring all of our options,” said Clint Bond, a spokesman for the Fort Worth Independent School District (ISD).
Superintendent Kent P. Scribner said that the ISD stands by their decision because “we firmly believe this is in the best interests of all students” and “the totality of the behavior warranted the recommendation for termination.”
Regardless of the incredible push-back and possible consequences for her free speech, Clark does not feel any regret for speaking out as she did.
“Frankly, God was saying, ‘It’s time you need to do this now,’ ” she said in September.
“I need my job back and those kids need me, too,” she added. “I believe that there are earth angels, and I believe that I am one.”
Big League Politics will continue with further updates on the Clark story, as the ISD appeals the ruling in an attempt to keep the patriotic teacher out of Carter-Riverside High School.

Biden Rebuffs Advisors’ Demands to Censor OANN, Newsmax, Fox News By Executive Order
Biden advisors have sought to ban conservative media from federal housing.
According to a White House source, President Joe Biden has rebuffed suggestions that he sign an executive order that would ban certain conservative news networks from being broadcast to federal housing complexes.
The order would’ve named One America News Network, Newsmax, and Fox News by name. The former two networks are known for a broadly pro-Donald Trump editorial stance, with Fox split between establishment liberal and conservative content.
Authoritarian liberals advising President Biden are said to have suggested that Biden crack down on television and media networks which dissent from the administration’s policy views, citing the raucous US Capitol protest earlier this month as an imperative to clamp down on the opposition.
The executive order in question would most prominently affect military housing, where the cable channels in question are accessible through cable services contracted through the military services. The order, which never progressed beyond suggestions to President Biden, may even have gone so far as to restrict the television channels from private housing organizations contracted to provide lodging to military service members and their families.
Biden even went so far as to dismiss the censorship attempt as “nonsense,” according to a White House source familiar with the exchange. It’s likely that attempts to sign and enforce it would’ve been shut down by the judiciary, representing a clear attempt to discriminate against the very viewing of political expression within federal buildings.
As an authoritarian streak grows more prominent in the intolerant attitudes of American liberals, it appears President Biden himself is at least skeptical to the slightest degree of governmental censorship attempts, although Biden has never so much as even made reference to the censorship practices utilized by Big Tech companies against tens of millions of Americans.
