""While we can't know the private beliefs of every single teacher" !!!! nor should we, under any circumstances."

You misunderstand me. My point is that just because someone's not a member of the BNP, doesn't mean they're not a racist. Goodness knows how many teachers there are who hold racially or socially prejuduced views, nor how their prejudices are reflected in their dealings with different students, if not through their teaching. However, if someone IS a card-carrying racist, we have a clear indicator that their dealings with certain students may well be biased. While we may not be able to do much about the former, we CAN respond to the latter - and I think we should. I do not think BNP members should be teachers.

Re Alice's FAF merch: I have exchanged PMs with Alice and she is taking the page down. All is good. It would appear to be a case of crossed wires.
