My comment about the woman showing a lack of professionalism (she's there to teach maths not for pastoral care) didn't make it.<br /><br />Neither they did allow comments on their own 'Comment' piece despite seemingly allowing them.<br /><br />It's almost as if they get to a few juicy comments which they like and then stop so that people who don't bother looking beyond the first few can green/red arrow like mad. They wouldn't do that surely?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-77382293069923592462009-12-21T10:24:07.938+00:002009-12-21T10:24:07.938+00:00She told the story on Radio 5 about 0030 last nigh...She told the story on Radio 5 about 0030 last night. <br /><br />Gently treated by the interviewer IMHO.Dave Eyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115184482077878684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-25893188461220418562009-12-20T20:53:22.581+00:002009-12-20T20:53:22.581+00:00You do get these cases every so often - not nearly...You do get these cases every so often - not nearly as often as the Mail or the Christian Institute would like you to believe, which is why the front page can be cleared for them. And as you say, there's a lot we don't know.<br /><br />From my experience, they don't stem from a mythical "PC brigade", but from HR departments being too rigid in dealing with cases that could have been sorted out with a bit of quiet discussion. Instead we get the Christian Institute going "ZOMG! Christians are being persecuted!", followed by the Mail going "ZOMG! It's PC gorn mad!", followed by the National Secular Society going "ZOMG! Teh theocrats are taking over!", and before you know it the original story is completely irrelevant.<br /><br />Sheesh. It doesn't actually do the woman much good, but it will shift papers and confirm people's prejudices. Which, as we all know, is the greater good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
