'The ‘Tory Teacher’ who dared to make a speech at the Conservative Party conference about the parlous state of state education has been so appallingly treated by her 'Blairite’ headteacher and her Anglican Chairman of Governors that she has been forced to resign.
They will probably take issue with the word ‘forced’.
Well, let them sue.
It was they who decided to ‘suspend’ Ms Birbalsingh after making her speech, on the trumped-up charge of using children’s photographs and offending the entire teaching profession.
His Grace is angered beyond verbal expression at this outcome, and he promised a ‘terrors of the earth’ apocalypse if these myopic politically-correct-socialist-ecumenicals got this wrong.
And they did.
Spectacularly so.'
Rad the whole piece and Toby Young who wrote:
'When she returned to work last Thursday her executive head teacher instructed her to spend the rest of the week at home. Proof, if proof were needed, that anyone who questions the prevailing socialist dogma within the state education system is immediately punished. Had Miss Birbalsingh made a speech at the Labour conference in which she endorsed Ed Balls's education policies, she would have been hailed as a conquering hero on her return to work. Her head teacher is the one who should be sent home, where she'd have an opportunity to reflect on the message her actions sent to her pupils about the school's tolerance of dissenting views.'
I am angry, very angry. Will Michael Gove take action? If not, why not? Will the BBC report this scandal or are they so blinkered in their support for the Labour party that they agree with the action taken against Miss Snuffy? What action can we take to show our support for Katherine Birbalsingh?
Your fury is completely understandable. It's about time we got tough on protecting free speech.
