Hawaii teacher: "I won't teach undocumented immigrants"

[Morphine Prince 110,017]

A teacher for Hawaii's largest high school has been harshly criticized for sending an email to staff at his school saying he was refusing to teach immigrant students in the U.S. illegally.

Campbell High School teacher John Sullivan on Wednesday used his work email to reply to a group of messages about parents keeping students out of school due to fears of being deported.

"This is another attack on the President over deportation," Sullivan's email said. "Their parents need to apply for immigration like everyone else. If they are here in the U.S. illegally, I won't teach them."

Officials declined to say whether Sullivan had been disciplined by the school's principal but state Department of Education spokeswoman Donalyn Dela Cruz said Sullivan's message was "disheartening and concerning."

"We want to reiterate that the public school system, we service all students," she said. "In this case, hopefully lessons have been learned."

Sullivan later told KHON-TV that his email was worded poorly. He said he meant to say that he cannot teach students who do not come to class.

Deserves to be fired and living on food stamps for all I care. This person has no business teaching the youth of this country.

How can he mean to say "I cannot teach students who do not come to class" when he said this:

"This is another attack on the President over deportation...Their parents need to apply for immigration like everyone else. If they are here in the U.S. illegally, I won't teach them."

Just another Trump bot who's playing the victim but is too scared to actually do what he says because fortunately human decency is above these people.

They can make a news story about it but can't show the original email? 

I'd like to see the original source

I still find US immigration strange.

I strongly believe illegal, undocumented immigrants should be sent away if they're caught. I'm all for people claiming asylum, that's fine since they're on paper etc. but paperless people not paying tax and keeping businesses alive that are willing to employ these people on piss poor salaries is bizarre.

Then again, I find all sorts of sh*t weird about the United States so

Have we come to the point when teachers pick which students they want to teach? For a figure held so high in society, that's kinda stupid

Mte, none of my teachers would ever do this

[Impostor 4,114]

That's really bad and revolting because the kids need education anyway, it's not even their fault

And if you want to separate people you should not be a teacher, you should be a cop or a politician lol

Couldn't have said it better... but that still doesn't mean I support Trump in anyway...
