Why this petition matters

Started by A BGS Student

The RS Teacher was trying to educate students about racism and blasphemy. He warned the students before showing the images and he had the intent to educate them. He does not deserve such large repercussions. He is not racist and did not support the Islamiphobic cartoons in any manner. This has got out of hand and due to this, students have missed out on lessons because of "peaceful" protestors . Them blocking off entrances did not allow teachers to work or enter the school. Think of those who would be affected due to this lesson spiraled out of hand? Teachers, The School, The Community, Children, the RS Teacher's family and his own financial stability since he will no longer be able to land a job due to the fact that his reputation has been tarnished. The issue is already nationwide. The RS Teacher has already apologised and has been suspended. Against all odds, students wish to make a statement and reinstate him back as a teacher in Batley Grammar School due to his pure intentions. Join with us and make a statement before this turns into a repeat of what happened to the teacher in France when he showed the same pictures. I leave you with one quote for you to think about."Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" - George Santayana. We aim to prevent the repetition of what has happened before. Join Us.
