BNP supporters disrupt school with demo and picket at gates

Monday morning saw the disruption of the first school day of the new year as the British National Party and two of its many front groups, Civil Liberty and Solidarity, gathered together outside Sunnydale Community College in County Durham to protest at the suspension of teacher Mark Walker.
Walker, BNP election candidate and agent for the former BNP's Andrew Spence in the recent Sedgefield by-election, was suspended from Sunnydale for 'misuse of school computer equipment', rumoured to be related to his visiting far-right websites during lessons while the children were getting on with their work.
The idiotic Phil Edwards, ever available to distort the facts on behalf of the BNP, was quoted in news reports as stating; 'The reason he's had this action against him was because he allegedly looked at the BNP website on the school's computer. It is disgraceful that anyone should be suspended for looking at the website of a perfectly legal political party. We are certain this action would not have been taken against someone who had looked at the websites of the Commission for Racial Equality or the Green Party.'
Well no, but neither the Commission for Racial Equality nor the Green Party attack Muslims using any pretext (or lie if a pretext isn't available), despise our multicultural society, seek the 'repatriation' of people with different skin colours who could be third or fourth generation UK born, oppose sexual diversity, demand the return of both corporal and capital punishment, have a Hitlerite background, a record of anti-semitism, an astonishing collection of criminals, liars and thieves in its ranks nor constantly steal money from its supporters...

No disruption - just legitimate protest

Our Brotherhood is very angry though. We feel Mark Walker is being unfairly treated. Some 'left' sites are taking the reactionary view that you shouldn't picket or demonstrate outside a school. A school is not just an educational establishment but a workplace and a part of the community. Our Union will take the flak and stand up for a member. Many parents and ex-pupils joined our protest because Mark is a good teacher.
This case raises many issues of freedom of expression and the right to privacy (even at work). Our Union doesn't shun hard cases.
Hatred of the BNP shouldn't blind people to what some empolyers are up to.

I read that "United Against Fascism" is distributing CDs in schools - a front group of the openly Troskyist SWP that wants to emulated the bloody Russian Revolution. So Trotskyites are allowed to distribute CDs in schools yet a teacher is suspended for simply being a member of the BNP, not having done anything wrong or tried to brainwash children like the totalitarian UAF et al.
