Teacher Sacked for comments!

Stocksfield_Poolie · **Posted:** Mon Aug 04, 2025 10:50 am

In a post on social media, S im on Pe a rson, 56, who teaches at Preston College said Connolly’s online comments were “obviously wrong” but she “should not have been jailed”.

But he was dismissed after an internal investigation, prompted by a complaint from a Muslim representative of the National Education Union (NEU) at the school, found his online posts had the potential to bring the college into disrepute.

Mr Pe arso n told the Telegraph: “I am appalled by the way I’ve been treated. I’ve dedicated my life to education and to supporting students from all walks of life.

“Yet as soon as I was branded ‘Islamophobic’ for expressing concern about violent crime, I became a marked man. It was clear that I had to be found guilty by the college, it became a witch hunt, and I had to be eliminated no matter what.”

Mr Pe arso n is an ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) teacher at the further education college in Fulwood.

Cannot have an opinion these days or express disgust at the government!

Have you retired Kettering?

Kettering Poolie · **Posted:** Mon Aug 04, 2025 7:11 pm

No, I'm on Summer Parole- no better job in August, just the other 11 months to negotiate each year!

Got another twenty years before I can do that, 22 years in, might manage another 15 if I'm lucky.

Mohammed Amaaz was found guilty after a three-week trial and was remanded in custody until his sentencing.

The quote was made long before the (long delayed) trial.

It wasn't delayed....he plead not guilty which meant it had to go to Crown Court....which takes time no matter who you are.

Isn't taking time the definition of a delay then?

And I'd expect he'll win at an employment tribunal for wrongful dismissal.

thats totally true but has nothing to do with a teacher getting the sack for having an opinion on an issue that can hardly be classed as islamophobia. funny though how we can criticise the catholic church for there wrongdoings of the past without any label being attached to it.

Another fact about the Catholic Church is that there has been a drop in Mass attendance as a result of the child sex abuse crisis.
Also a 1/3 of Catholics who donated to the church have stopped doing so.

Compare that to the what the Muslims are doing, despite the horrific and vast numbers of child sex abuse cases by their men, more mosques are being built and their religion is on the increase.

Say something about the Catholic church and the sexual abuse of children and that is fine, people are on your side.
Say the same thing about Islam and you are branded a racist and you could also fall victim to the Starmer regime!

Just who has control of the UK!!??!!

it never has for me and have never gained any thing from multiculturism either. just lt everyone live there lives as they wish if its within the law and not force things on any community when they have no wish for it. bet pools do not get a mention in prayers at local mosques.
