Veronica Fleming had her teaching job reassigned after she made a Facebook status supporting mass deportation on Thursday

A Florida elementary teacher at a predominately Latino school had her job reassigned after she made a Facebook post during school hours that supported mass deportation.

Veronica Fleming had her classroom taken away after she made a status that said she was 'glad about massive deportation' and there would be 'less mouths to feed' on Thursday.

The teacher at Parkside Elementary School, where 96 per cent of students are a minority, thanked President Trump after sharing an article about immigrant protests.

The demographic of the school in Naples, Florida, is a majority of non-white pupils, with 70 per cent Latino and 20 per cent Haitian, causing outrage among parents.

The principal was alerted to the status when parents began calling the school in complaint a few hours after it posted, NBC 2 reported.

The situation was then turned over to the deputy superintendent and human resources, and they made the joint decision to reassign the teacher and have an investigation.

Fleming's post read: '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.

'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!'

Fleming was sharing an article the Chicago Tribune wrote centering around immigrants protesting Donald Trump and his statements around deportation.

Demonstrators across the country participated in the Day Without Immigrants boycott by not showing up work or class, in an effort to show how much they contribute to American society.

Fleming is believed to have posted the status during school hours, teaching the very students who could be directly affected by deportation.

A petition calling for her firing was launched online and has reached more than 3,000 signatures.

Principal Tamie Stewart said: 'We greatly appreciate our parents who have communicated to the school to share concerns so that we can address this issue.

'I want to ensure our families that this person’s individual post is not at all reflective of our school staff in any way.'
