SUSPENDED TEACHER
I AM a former pupil of Mark Walker, who has been suspended from Sunnydale Community College, Shildon, for accessing right-wing websites.
I think his suspension is ridiculous and totally out of order. It is as if they have got nothing better to do with their time than to pick on people who have different beliefs than they do. Because he is not a robot, and has his own voice, they want him out.
Mr Walker was an excellent teacher and I think every student in that school would agree. He treated everyone the same, so why punish him for having a voice and opinion? - Debbie Claydon, Shildon.
