Dear Sir or Madam,
By letter of 30 September 2009, The Secretary of State Ed Balls
appointed Maurice Smith to enquire into the "promotion of racism in
schools". Part of the review is aimed at determining whether
members of the British National Party (BNP) should be allowed to
work as teachers or in the wider school workforce.
Please provide the following information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. I am referring to education.
1. Has your authority ever found a member of the BNP or any other
political Party guilty of a disciplinary offence related to their
Party membership whilst teaching in the last three years? If so
please give information as to when and how many.
2. Has any parent complained to you regarding the Party membership
of any employee or the expression of political views within School
classrooms under your authority during the last three years?
3. What safeguards do you currently have in place to prevent
members of any political Party promoting their views within
Schools?
