FORT WORTH, Texas (WKRC) - A substitute teacher asked ICE to raid his school in a post to social media. According to KDFW, Forth Worth Independent School District (Fort Worth ISD) has launched a probe after a substitute teacher replied to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) post on X, asking the agency to visit a high school in Texas and remove students believed to be in the country illegally.

The outlet reported that the probe was launched Friday, when school officials became aware of the post.

The X post from the substitute teacher, who was not named in the report, reads as follows:

"Y'all should come to Fort Worth, TX to Northside High School. 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 @USEDGOV should totally overhaul our school system in Texas."

Forth Worth ISD interim superintendent Karen Molinar issued a statement obtained by KDFW, telling families that the matter was under investigation and that the district was "taking this situation very seriously and are committed to resolving it as quickly as possible."

1. And, these students are criminals, how? Oh, they exist.

[TheBlackAdder]

8. Texas and they don't know what ESL is? It seems the lack of education is not limited to just students.

[AverageOldGuy]

30. In Texas . . .

. . . the Anglos speak Texan, they are the ones who need ESL -- the Hispanic folks speak decent English.

2. third reich stuff n/t

[GreenWave]

3. Like when Franco begged Hitler to bomb Spain.

Pigs off campus, Teach!

[Polybius]

56. And Franco was the best of the Fascist Four (Franco, Hitler, Mussolini, Pinochet)

Shows you just how bad the other three were.

[Jilly_in_VA]

4. This person is probably not even a certified teacher

Texas has some pretty loose standards, and even looser for subs. Besides, since, they're not named, how do we know they're even a teacher at all?

[Ziggysmom]

35. A Peggy Hill!

[Jit423]

5. Dang! My grands were learning to speak Spanish by immersion with their Spanish-speaking peers.

They were doing great too. They even teaching me the language at home. Oh, well...i guess i will just have to take a class now.

[travelingthrulife]

19. I know. In the southwest it's like gold to speak multiple languages.

What better way to learn than by immersion with peers.

[Maeve]

6. Someone who really doesn't need to be hired by a school again...ever

[Midnight Writer]

7. How will the students learn to speak English if they are not allowed to go to school?

Many students don't understand calculus either.

[Old Okie]

37. Calculus

I am 80 and don't understand calculus; math challenged and gave up or lost interest after algebra.

9. Jeez. As expected, American Unity is a myth.

We’re no less willing to rat each other out than citizens in Nazi Germany. We’ll look on in glee as our fellow countrymen get dragged away, because it makes us feel that much more powerful. “At least I’m not them!”

American Exceptionalism my ass.

edit - Oops. Funny typo. “Rat”

[tulipsandroses]

34. I saw a post that said, " it's depressing that folks I know, grew up with

I wouldn’t tell them where Anne Frank was hiding”
That’s 1/3 of Ameria - they would have turned her in.

[Oneironaut]

45. That's the harsh reality I think.

Another 1/3 also probably would not care either way, and, would prefer to just stay out of everything.

[MagickMuffin]

10. It's FORT WORTH, not Forth Worth, seems the author needs schooling

For what it’s worth Northside High School is predominantly Mexican Americans.

And that substitute teacher is a racist and coward!

I read about this yesterday from Rep. Marc Vaesey on fb. He isn’t very pleased with this news.

[niyad]

18. I don't get the all-caps name.

[WheelWalker]

29. Emphasizing it's "Fort" not "Forth" Worth

[niyad]

41. Oh my word, I didn't even see that, just glanced. Clearly not enough caffeine.

Thank you!

[MagickMuffin]

36. It is named Fort Worth not FORTH which is why I wanted to point it out

The article apparently didn’t bother to correct the 2 typos of the correct spelling of a city!

[niyad]

42. Thank you as well. That is what I get for just glancing.

[DFW]

47. I saw that, too. Once is a typo. Twice is illiteracy.

People who can't even get a four letter word in English right are reporting on substitute teachers smugly turning in schoolchildren?

[Diamond_Dog]

11. How are these high school students criminals?

My heart breaks for all the good people getting screwed by this ugly orange ogre.

[Ray Bruns]

21. Let me give a simple explanation of why they are criminals.

[uponit7771]

28. MAGA considers anyone who came across without docs are criminal so they don't have to

... commit additional crimes other than being undocumented.

Their probable cause for undocumented doesn't go past skin color as TFG said "... you'll know.."

[intheflow]

12. Not vetting their subs very well, are they?

Dude sounds like a real genius. "Hey, come here and close this school that just hired me That'll teach those illegals! Oh, and hey, do you know of any schools that are hiring teachers?"

[haele]

15. Substitute teacher -s/he doesn't care.

Probably boosting up the resume to eventually get a prime teaching job for good little drones at a Christian Nationalist charter skool.

[ProfessorGAC]

39. There's A Teacher Shortage

In most any state we could name.
If that sub was qualified for a full-time gig, they'd probably have one.
I'm a sub, and 90% of the subs I know do not have the credentials to be a certified teacher.
Geez, I have 5 college degrees & I couldn't be certified. (Not that I want a full-time assignment.)
That sub is probably more much more like Mr than what you're describing.

[jmbar2]

44. I'm a sub too and that person just made our lives a lot harder

Our school population is dropping. No stats yet to know if the Spanish speaking kids are disappearing, but possible.

What a horrible thing to do to kids no matter what language they speak.

[ProfessorGAC]

50. Absolutely Right!

I did a class which was a transitional ESL math thing.
Some of the students were fully bilingual. Some barely could speak English.
I got the feeling some of the fluent bilingual kids were in that class to help those with lesser English skills. They clearly could have been in regular math classes.
Anyway, since numbers are numbers I could still help some. But, I didn't feel like I could help enough. I wouldn't take that class again. Not because of their lack of English skills, but because of my lack of Spanish skills.

[defacto7]

13. The Stasi lives again. n/t

[Comrade Citizen]

14. Northside is Spanish speaking

Of course they speak Spanish, the Northside of Fort Worth is Mexican. We actually consider it the most Texan part of Fort Worth since they have been here forever. North of the Northside are new suburbs filled with magat gringo invaders.

[LudwigPastorius]

40. My dad used to work at a plant on the Northside.

He knew where all the great little hole in the wall Mexican food places were.

And, he used to take me and my brother to a hispanic barbershop there to get our haircuts.
The old barber there called both of us ‘leetle brother’.

Good memories.

[swong19104]

16. "Y'all"?

Y'all?

[flashman13]

17. Y'all That's redneck English. It's as Amerikan as apple pie. What's yer problem?

I recon ya need to go over yonder to learn some a dat English. Y'all!

[EYESORE 9001]

55. I guess 'youse guys' is preferable

[Ping Tung]

20. The students should be taught 1930s German to understand their new home and its ideals.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

22. If they don't speak English by 10th grade, that school has failed.

[jaxxon20]

23. How do you know when the students arrived?

How can you say "if they don't speak english by the tenth grade?" They could be recent migrants. As far as the original poster, they don't speak english either since they started their post with "Y'all"

[ismnotwasm]

24. So many assholes.

They are fucking everywhere.

[Initech]

48. Until Trump, I had no idea how many truly terrible people walk among us.

Now he's pulled their masks off and they are free to wave their middle finger and inner asshole at the world.

[Cirsium]

25. What?

That teacher is working at Northside High School and he can't even speak Spanish?? He has to use an app on his IPhone to translate?? Outrageous.

[niyad]

43. Excellent point. One would think that would be a minimal requirement.

[Cirsium]

51. My guess?

I bet his English isn't all that great, either.

[niyad]

52. Well, as two posters pointed out (that I somehow missed) said idiot

cannot spell, so you are correct.

[Kid Berwyn]

26. A sub.

Gee, Texas. Do a background check. There are many qualified substitute teachers.

[mwmisses4289]

33. Not here in texas.

Teacher shortage due to christian taliban is so bad that texas loosened it requirements for subs: I believe subs only need a ged or high school diploma and pass a background check.

[Initech]

49. Yeah, the threat to this country and our children isn't immigrants. It's the MAGA Taliban.

The church has completely become utterly repulsive and unrecognizable in the last 15 years. Hell, the last 30. I'm glad I was able to escape when I did and I don't regret my decision one bit.

[Emile]

27. Racism alive and well Deep in the Heart of Texas.

[Scrivener7]

31. Get that monster out of the classroom.

[2 Meow Momma]

32. That teacher will probably get a bonus! That's the kind of teacher they want in Tx. nt

[Klarkashton]

38. Substitute Judas.

[Initech]

46. This teacher should be served his walking papers.

Yeah, and the Nazis were just following orders.

[RockRaven]

53. Or maybe they've figured out how to avoid having to talk to the creepy teacher.

[Solly Mack]

54. One of those "Good Americans".

[struggle4progress]

58. Translation: "I really don't give a damn about children"

[ecstatic]

59. Disgusting POS does not belong in a school

He thinks it's ok to risk children being harmed in an armed raid.

Why?

Maybe it hasn't occurred to him that he could end up being the one who is "accidentally" shot and killed during a raid.
