Texas teacher calls for ICE raid on school over pupils 'who don't even speak English'

Source: Independent

As the president’s first week in office drew to a close on Sunday, a protest broke out in Fort Worth calling for protection of children in the region.

“Just on Friday, three of my parents said they were not sending their kids to school anymore because they’re afraid,” third grade teacher Jeanette Martinez told Fox 4.

“They don’t know, they don’t know all this is evil, they’re just trying to get an education, children should not be afraid, they should not.

44% of Texas voters did not vote for Trump and yet, the GOP has total control of State governance . We’re held hostage here in Redneckistan.

There are counties where they can't find a candidate. Even here in San Antonio, we have trouble recruiting for some red districts. We get someone, they run. They lose big time. The next time around, we will get a candidate, who won't be as good. They lose even more. The third time, no one runs. That's because there is a lot time, money, work and effort needed. It takes a good year out of someone's life to run, Why take a year out of your life if you won't have the funds and infrastructure only to be humiliated?

Everyone just runs as R's instead.

is majority Hispanic and African American, but the private school magats are trying to force school closures and hurt the students. In 2022, a Mexican American superintendent was hired. She attended Falwell's Liberty Univ, but the magats still called her a woke Latina pushing CRT indoctrination. A small group of loudmouth magats caused her to resign in 2024.

My SIL is Latina and she also did the Liberty thing via online. I don't discuss politics with her. But she isn't running a school district.

Her first language was Spanish and she has worked very hard her whole life. She did care about her students. With reduced funding for schools, she was setup to fail, even though she was trying to be in the club. Mexican American Latinas will never be good enough for these magats who wield power.
