Thread Name: BS: Teacher members of BNP
Subject: RE: BS: Teacher members of BNP
I must admit that the idea of there being the odd (I use that word in both its contexts) BNP-supporting teacher in a school doesn't particularly worry me. One teacher does not make a school. Any discriminatory behaviour should be quickly picked up and the appropriate action taken. If a child came home spouting the loathsome BNP rhetoric, parents would soon complain to the headteacher. Based on the level of BNP support in this country, BNP teachers could only be a very small minority and, as I have said before, the compulsory CRB checks would soon rule out many potential candidates. Anyway, judging by the average IQ of a typical BNP supporter, very few would have the intelligence to qualify as teachers in the first place.

I think I would be more worried about the BNP targetting vulnerable adults - they, after all, have a vote.
