It's not that I disagree with what he was trying to say, but as a public school principal, he had no business saying that, and using that sort of wording which definitely rubs some the wrong way.

Situational awareness, people, this isn't rocket science.

He has no one but himself to blame for his actions.

An 8th-grade principal who reportedly called undocumented immigrants “illegal aliens” poised to make the United States a “dirty country” has been placed on leave by the school district.

“We were made aware of the post on Friday. We do not support or condone his actions or comments. He was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation of the incident,” Sheila Adams, a spokesperson for the Lufkin Independent School District in Texas, tells Yahoo Lifestyle in an email.

I've always said that many people just can't handle having a voice on social media. They aren't intellectually prepared to speak on thing on the world stage.

The school can't suspend him or fire him for free speech when not at work.



Some cases have occurred where police departments have tried to fire cops, but if there are no references or pictures to their place of employment on their social media then Im pretty free speech applies.

And yet ANOTHER instance where you DO NOT put where you work and if you DARE share a non pc post MAKE SURE YOUR PAGE IS PRIVATE! I don't add strangers,I don't have my page open for everyone to see because the snowflakes in this country are destroying free speech and can't take a joke much less handle a non pc post or answer.

Social media is the worst place to gather any political information and definitely not a wise place to share political beliefs or grievances.

What would you call a group of people who have just walked a thousand miles without bathing, if not dirty?

We could set up bathtubs directly under the "welcome aboard" signs. Problem solved. All clean.

Well, a whole bunch of them send their kids to school dirty. Some are clean and have clean clothes, but many are awful. I know they have showers in their apartments, there should be no excuse.
