ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – An Albuquerque High School teacher is drawing scorn from parents over comments she posted to Facebook during “A Day Without Immigrants” last month.

“One of my classes was much quieter than usual as about 1/3 of the students were absent,” the teacher wrote. “There weren’t students the students who usually spend their time insisting on speaking Spanish in the ESL classes.”

The educator wrote that “they weren’t there to cuss in Spanish, distract other students and generally be disruptive.

“So all in all, I’d say the day was a success.”

The teacher also gave her opinion about the current debate over the country’s immigration policies.

“I think, it means that we should deport those who are here in violation of immigration laws, thereby freeing up our schools to better serve American citizen students,” she wrote in the Feb. 16 post.

Gilbert Borunda, grandfather of an AHS student, was aghast at the teacher’s comments.

“It’s really disheartening that a teacher would have such awful things to say about her kids,” Borunda told KRQE. “At a minimum, she should be warned and discussed, you know have some sort of verbal warning about this kind of behavior.”

Albuquerque Public Schools spokeswoman Monica Armenta told the news site “district officials are aware of this issue and have addressed it, but because it’s a personnel issue, there’s nothing more to share.”

It’s unclear whether the teacher faced repercussions for voicing her beliefs, and KRQE did not publish her name.

“It means (school officials are) unconcerned about the people who are teaching our nation’s youth,” former AHS student Rayne Weahkee said.

Weahkee is “disappointed because I always felt the school should be held to a higher standard, and this isn’t helping their image.”

The Albuquerque teacher is among numerous educators across the country who spoke out on the national A Day Without Immigrants protest that encouraged illegal immigrants to stay home as a show of opposition to President Trump’s immigration policies.

“Having my class reduced by 50% all day long only served to SUPPORT Trump’s initiatives and prove how much better things might be without all this overcrowding,” Geoffrey Greer, social science teacher at California’s Rubidoux High School posted to Facebook. “Best school day ever.”

“That’s what you get when you jump on some sort of bandwagon cause as an excuse to be lazy and/or get drunk,” he wrote.

The Huffington Post reports:

At least five other staff members joined in on the thread, including science teacher Allen Umbarger who wrote that “mostly failing” students were missing from his class. 

Guidance counselor Patricia Crawford boasted that she didn’t have “any discipline issues” Thursday and agreed with science teacher Charles Baugh who said the students’ absences were so enjoyable that he would welcome more days without them. Agriculture teacher Rhonda Fuller said her classroom was less disruptive without the students who missed school that day.

“Troublemakers were gone,” Fuller wrote. “Fantastic day!”

Jurupa Unified School District Superintendent Elliot Duchon told the news site a total of six staff members he would not name are on administrative leave as a result of the “totally isolated” incident.

A teacher in Naples, Florida was also removed from the classroom her Facebook comments mocking A Day Without Immigrants, the Naples Daily News reports.

“The funny part about immigrants staying home is the rest of us who pay for them are here at work like we’ve always been,” Parkside Elementary School teacher Veronica Fleming wrote. “Looks like less mouths to feed today. Have fun while you still can. So glad to hear about massive deportation. Let’s make America great again. Thanks Donald Trump!”

Collier County Public Schools spokesman Greg Turchetta said Fleming was reassigned to the district’s administrative officers pending the outcome of a district investigation.

An elementary school teacher in Washington State’s Prosser School District was put on leave as well for a Facebook post about “illegal aliens” during the protest, the Associated Press reports.

“The Facebook message voiced support for boycotting Thursday’s A Day Without Immigrants protest in which immigrants stayed home from work and school to protest President Donald Trump’s efforts to step up deportations,” the AP reports. “It also provided information on how to contact federal immigration authorities.”
