    let her move to whatever shithole of an
    islamic country of her choice where she can teach about the magnificent 19 hijackers and how they killed almost 3000 people to illustate to us how The Religion of Peace works.

    The article doesn't say anything about her being a terrorist sympathizer or anti-American or objecting for any reason related to her being a Muslim

    It says the film is graphic that is rated for 18+ and she objected to it being shown to 11yr olds and 12 yr olds.

    There's more to this story than the article states.

    Right now it's a case of he said she said and we'll have to wait to see the outcome to find the truth.

    E-Act, who run the academy, told the tribunal judge Ron Broughton that the teacher no longer wanted to work for them.
    They complained there had been no need for the preliminary hearing and were considering making a claim for costs against Suriyah for causing delays.
    Mr Broughton said she could go ahead with her legal claims at a full hearing later this year and he would not consider a claim for costs at this stage.


    I also wonder why she's suing for "religious discrimination" when unfair dismissal would have covered the entire reason she claims to have been fired for and that was protecting children to young to see violence like the 9/11 video?

    Huh? Are you wasted?

    Because that's how law suits work: cast the widest net possible and sue everyone for everything remotely related to the incident.

    She'd only worked there for a week and probably has a probation period so she can't sue for unfair dismissal... they can fire you for any reason, or no reason at all... but not for "religious discrimination".

    And she would be right.

    They shouldn't have been shown that video.

    Was what is shown really any different that can be seen on the news every year?

    Ms Bi said the clip was inappropriate as it could distress the youngsters

    If this is true she's right especially when these kids could go on their phones and watch horrific 9/11 shit so why watch it in the class room?

    While that's true in many jobs, it's likely not for a teaching job. It certainly wouldn't be the case in Ontario. If this were Canada, she'd be in the union her first day on the job and whatever probationary period exists would be addressed in the collectively bargained contract. Not sure about Britain but, in Canada, I've never seen a CBA that allowed someone to be dismissed arbitrarily no matter how long on the job.

    Just because can do something or watch something, doesn't mean it should be taught in school.

    You're not wrong, but I'm more surprised they haven't seen it already if it is similar to news coverage.

    Yep, I would have been interested in the School Board reaction if I had shown a porn vid to my grade 7 class. " But they can see all that on their phones!" :lol:

    Just one more reason for me to exercise my freedom to tell Islam to go fuck itself.

    Just curious. Are teaching assistants covered by a CBA?
