Michael Gove on extremist teachers

This made me laugh. I have snipped this from the current Wikipedia entry on Michael Gove, MP for Surrey Heath (my patch).


BNP membership amongst teachers
As Education Secretary Gove has stated that schools should have the power to dismiss teachers for being members of the British National Party (BNP). He told the Guardian: "I don't believe that membership of the BNP is compatible with being a teacher. One of the things I plan to do is to allow headteachers and governing bodies the powers and confidence to be able to dismiss teachers engaging in extremist activity".



Not an extremist position, then.
