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.”
