Anne, what about the school I worked in a couple of weeks ago where, in an Ethics lesson in RE, a group of kids (year 10) said that one of the rules they would create to make society better would be to "get rid of all the Pakis and the immigrants"? How is teacher who is a a card-carrying member of the BNP going to navigate that particular minefield?

And what about when breaking up fights or settling disputes between white British and non-white or non-British students? Would you not be a bit concerned that a teacher who was a member of the BNP would be inclined to favour the white kid?
