🤣 banned from teaching

Ice agents have a 50% fail rate on a written exam that you're allowed to access the internet for. Why anyone would think banning them from teaching is meaningful is beyond me.

I went to a private school for a couple years where they would let teachers who didn't have their license yet teach.

Because putting idiots in charge of teaching means no one really learns so the schools can eventually prove to be useless and unfunded. It is way more insidious than just their lack of credentials. ICE agents are a poison to any system they integrate into as shown by how badly ICE is performing.

Ah, I hadn't considered it from that perspective.

My own was simply that they would be, exactly as you said, poison to any system they integrate into — and thereby plainly inept. What I hadn't considered was the intentional placement of those agents within systems that they would then go on to corrupt. Call it naiveté.
