RIVERSIDE, Calif. – Several teachers in California and other states face public backlash and work discipline after posting honest assessments on social media about how a nationwide “Day Without Immigrants” strike against Donald Trump impacted their classrooms.

“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,” Rubidoux High School social science teacher Geoffrey Greer posted to Facebook last Thursday. “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.

“Neither the board, nor staff, had any forewarning that such comments would be posted,” Duchon said in a statement. “We want to express that we are deeply concerned and distressed about the postings.  We will investigate further and will take appropriate action in this matter.”

“Today, our goal is to provide comfort for the students … and the staff and the parents of the community,” Duchon told the Post.

Some students put their feelings about the incident on Facebook.

“My heart is so broken,” Guadalupe Lopez posted Thursday. “I loved these teachers and this is how they feel about us and our people?”

Local Anthony Coffey told KTLA the teachers’ Facebook posts were a serious violation of the school “safe zone.”

“Teachers that some of these students looked up to have now made many of them feel uncomfortable and even scared to go to call tomorrow,” Coffey said. “School is supposed to be a safe zone where we can all feel comfortable to gain the education we need.”

Greer erased his initial post and replaced it with an apology.

“While I stand by my assertion that skipping school is no way to demonstrate one’s value to society, I do apologize for the harsh tone and hurtful structure of the previous message,” the message read.

A teacher in Naples, Florida was also removed from the classroom last week for 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 as administrators investigate.

Washington State’s Prosser School District was put on leave after a Facebook post about “illegal aliens” during last Thursday’s 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.”
