A Texas substitute teacher has come under fire after inviting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to raid his school because his students “don’t even speak English.”
Fort Worth Independent School District officials launched an investigation after the substitute teacher responded to a post by ICE on social media giving an update on arrests for Jan. 23.
The teacher, who was not publicly identified but had the X username @Hookem232, called for agents to “come to Fort Worth, TX to Northside High School,” according to the Dallas Morning News.
“I have many students who don’t even speak English and they are in 10th-11th grade. They have to communicate through their iPhone translator with me. The [US Department of Education] should totally overhaul our school system in Texas too,” the post added.
School board president Roxanne Martinez sought to reassure parents about whether ICE was going to target the school district.
“Please be assured that we are taking this situation very seriously and are committed to resolving it as quickly as possible,” she said.
Two-thirds of Fort Worth public school students are Hispanic and more than one in three students is learning English as a second language.
Meanwhile, officials have not named the substitute teacher who made the post, but said the instructor will not be teaching while the posts are investigated.
Interim Superintendent Karen Molinar also sent out a message saying the district would be “supporting all families.”
The social media post comes as President Trump issued a directive allowing ICE to operate at “sensitive areas” including schools and churches.
It also comes as the president weighs sending upward of 10,000 troops to secure the US-Mexico border after former President Joe Biden’s administration allowed some 8 million migrants to enter the US illegally in four years.
It’s not the first time a Fort Worth ISD teacher has come under fire for anti-immigrant sentiments.
In 2019, Georgia Clark, an English teacher at Carter-Riverside High School in Fort Worth, wrote several posts on X, then Twitter, asking Trump to help boot “illegal students from Mexico” from her school.
“Mr. President, Fort Worth Independent School District is loaded with illegal students from Mexico,” one of her tweets read. “Carter-Riverside High School has been taken over by them.”
In another message, Clark said she did “not know what to do” to address the problem and provided two phone numbers to contact her. She said her earlier attempts to “remove the illegals” were rebuffed by local and federal authorities in Fort Worth.
“The district knows about the issue and turns a blind eye to it,” Clark tweeted.
She also told Trump in another tweet that she needed “protection from recrimination” if and when steps to remove the undocumented students were taken.
“I contacted the Texas Education Agency and then my teacher organization,” Clark wrote. “Texans will not protect whistle blowers [sic]. The Mexicans refused to honor our flag.”
Clark later told district officials she thought the messages were private and didn’t intend for them to be public. She initially was placed on administrative leave with pay before the school district voted to fire her.
“Mr. President, Fort Worth Independent School District is loaded with illegal students from Mexico,” one of her tweets read. “Carter-Riverside High School has been taken over by them.”
They’re literally children. Absolute fascist bloodthirsty slime. I hate these people. “Illegal students.” You might as well be saying criminal babies. The students have taken over the school? How does the teacher even know the students’ immigration status and why would they even care outside of their own psychic derangement
I think the B-Story here is apparently ICE reacts to the most minor call outs so if you ever see what looks like an encampment of illegals out in the texas deserts it is your patriotic duty to call that in
Filing reports on every chud militia compound would be a very funny bit
I heard there was some guy there named John “John” Zwiebel-Martinez so obviously the only course of action is WACO the campsite
ICE officers running into their coworkers at the militia compound raid
Remind me where in upstate NY the Shen Yun compound is located?

Teachers at this level are basically your typical Amerikkkan and this is one in Fort Worth so this is extremely unsurprising behavior.
Turns out when you force out all of the sympathetic teachers, all you’ll have left are little tyrants who are willing to get treated bad in exchange for tormenting their classes
There are many racist teachers in AmeriKKKa.
Old white women working in urban schools are among the worst of them
Even in the suburbs it’s insane to hear the dogwhistles.
I substituted at my old high school when I was in college and talked to a lot of the white middle-aged women.
Our school’s boundaries were redrawn to be less segregated (cutting around neighborhoods that weren’t gated communities).
The amount of complaining and moaning with that look of disgust when they try to hide their racism by saying “these NEW and YOUNGER kids don’t know how to act” and the insane smiling and near-winking to try to get you to understand what they’re saying.
It’s more frustrating in the cities because they’re entirely surrounded by majority-poc classes and are steadfast in their blatant bigotry. You expect that kind of racism to be in suburban schools.

Teachers are supposed to be the front line in protecting students against these raids
Are they? I mean a lot of teachers tend towards liberalism or leftism but materially I don’t think this quite gets the role of teachers at all

My point being it’s the teachers union that organizes this, not the state-side teachers organization. I salute your partner and everyone affiliated with them for doing the right thing, don’t get me wrong. But that’s para-state-capacity, not state-capacity.
I guess it’s just a difference of material conditions. The elementary school teaches I remember were abusive, narcissistic, liberal fascist capitalists that brought religion into the classroom and used American textbooks full of lies and propaganda.
Also it’s Texas so there is a non zero chance this actually starts happening.
My understanding is this person is a substitute, and judging by the caliber of people the subs are in my district, this doesn’t shock me. Though, we’re in a sanctuary state, and just today got word we’ll be denying ICE and any other federal agent access to the building unless they have a signed judicial warrant.
unless they have a signed judicial warrant.
That’s fantastic news, those extra 10 minutes might be enough to get a glass of water so they don’t dehydrate on the plane to another country
A judicial warrant is a order by a judge or other judicial authority that authorizes a law enforcement officer to arrest a person for an offense specified in the warrant.
They need one for each person they are arresting.
If you hear of ICE or another enforcement agent forging this document or entering a school through force, then you have a lot more things to worry about.
At that point you need to think about forming armed resistance.
a good portion of my teachers were clearly people who just couldn’t deal with the real world and because of that just went back to school
Fucking VCR button pushing nazi should get electrocuted
I say he should be hit with dodgeballs until dead
A medieval rack with automatic motors connected to a screen tracking raids and deportations. Number go up makes the rack tighten, and instills the despair of being killed painfully by the work of the very fascists you’d hoped would inflict pain on others.
A Texan friend just learned that a young adult friend got rolled up by ICE as they pulled into their driveway after work.
I’ve seen leftish influencers coping and saying the first wave of deportations will be “easy win” stories of eg people who actually get caught doing crimes or whstever. But no, its happening to normal people already.
I’m sure we already know this, but its the first one to hit close to home in my circles. Shit fucking sucks.
The guy who got snatched has been in the states since middle school. Its happening.
The Mexicans refused to honor our flag
shit, most whites in Texas don’t speak English either.
they speak Texan, which is only occasionally mutually intelligible with English and is a language pathology inflicted on young minds schooled in Texas and fueled by Jimmy Dean Sausages.
I speak Texan, check it out:

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
It also comes as the president weighs sending upward of 10,000 troops to secure the US-Mexico border after former President Joe Biden’s administration allowed some 8 million migrants to enter the US illegally in four years
Idk about y’all, but this sounds like bullshit. Joe Biden’s border “policy” was the same as Trump’s. In fact it’s even worse
If you don’t speak up for immigrants, they’ll come for you next and no one will be there to speak for you.
I remember when I was a kid and it was announced that the school will protect kids from being deported. This of course was a measure to integrate them in society and prevent them from becoming active Criminals by giving them something to do.

That’s why I just copied the entire text of the article. Archive was being really slow for me for some reason.
