No ban on BNP teachers says GTC

The GTC said in reponse: "As a regulatory body, we cannot regulate against beliefs of professionals, only their actions and conduct."

BNP teachers can work without fear of political discrimination

BNP teachers can work without fear of political discrimination

Despite opposition from five members of the General Teaching Council (GTC), the governing body of teachers in England has refused to write a clause into its new code of conduct for teachers barring British National Party (BNP) members from working in state schools after it was advised that it could not ban members of a lawful political party from teaching jobs.The five members of the GTC who openly object include four who were appointed by the Secretary of State responsible for education, the Labour MP, Ed Balls, and one who was nominated by the far-left dominated National Union of Teachers (NUT). They claim that being a member of the BNP is “fundamentally inconsistent with the ethos of schools in this country” and extol the virtues of “diversity” in education reflecting their own involvement in minority educational projects.
