The guys in Palestine flags and scarfs are NOT teachers.. they're professional protesters.

If a teacher did that they would be suspended and in front of the TRA panel.. you can't show ANY political bias. 

Were they not teachers striking outside their school the other day?

There were, but I'm going to wager those in scarfs were not..

Simply put, you'd lose you would run the risk of losing your teacher license.

I’m yet to meet a teacher who tries to force any of their political views onto children.

 I’m sure the odd ones do exist. But the way some people ramble on you’d think it was a widespread issue. Folk just love to stir shit up.

I remember the teacher on educating Manchester from Harrop fold getting some shit for slagging Trump off and going on a rant about him. Only a few million witnessed it and she got away with it ,

I have to tell them to stop talking countless times and they don't listen..

No way they're listening to me telling them how to vote, and remembering it in 3-4 years...

The law

Existing statutory requirements on political impartiality cover all schools, regardless of type or funding arrangement. This includes independent schools.

These legal duties mean schools:

  • must prohibit the promotion of partisan political views
  • should take steps to ensure the balanced presentation of opposing views on political issues when they are brought to the attention of pupils

Been a few cases where it's been raised,

That's because unions usually help organise the marches, and the banners are there to help members identify which union is where. Part of organisers role that has been there for 150 years.

Go back to the Peterloo massacre and there was banners and flags from various groups who'd come together to protest. We've just done a project with The Co-op they have one of the original banners in their archives.

Yup - the Labour Party helped organise a march against sewage being pumped into the sea at Whitstable. Banners there even though a lot of the speeches were about calling on the government for change.

A party can support a movement that pushes their own party when in power.

Again, i go back to can we please start teaching the basic of politics at school.

More weak leadership!

Not really the point on a pro Palestine march though is it.

Unions are there to protect their members' interests in their working environment. 

Bugger all to do with religious based strife many hundreds of miles away. 

How does that work for any of their members that don't support Palestine?

An overstepping of their remit.

If a union member has wants to demonstrate on such an issue then do so, but not under a banner unrelated to the matter.

For the most part, it is within their remit. It goes beyond collective bargaining, representation, workers rights, striking and calling each other comrade.

Members are not obliged to go, nor support every action; but traditionally trade unions are aligned to the left, and will protest against the far right.

The rise of the far right- building a trade union response | TUC

You'll also find members can pretty much support any party they want; though being an activist for one political party can lead to expulsion.

I have no interest in arguing the rights and wrongs of the matter- I am just explaining why banners are present.

Cultural enrichment insensitivity. 

If they are 12+ and have grass on the pitch, they believe that it's OK for them to proceed.

You need to accept these practices in the interests of social cohesion apparently.

Yeah- back in the day we just sent them to Australia 😂

Seriously though, we should be making this a standard; you abuse power for sexual gain, you gonna eat a lot of porridge

Doesn’t suit their muslim bashing agenda when rich white blokes do it.

So it’s conveniently ignored 

We need proper sentencing - decades or life - not shit stirrers playing a cultural blame game.
