This is a difficult one. I have name changed because my previous posts might out where I work.
I work in a secondary school supporting Y7. One of the other support staff says he is a ‘conspiracy theorist’. He talks about this stuff openly. His Facebook which is public is all about this stuff. He puts forward his views to the students in lessons with them. Any news events he interprets in the framework of ‘new world order’ etc. Often this isn’t in hearing of the class teachers.
Sometimes he wears a t shit that says ‘I identify as a conspiracy theorist, my pronouns are ‘told’ ‘you’ ‘so’.
I get it that we should encourage free speech and debate, but if it was one of the kids coming out with the things he says I would be thinking that they needed support.
if I said anything it would be very obvious. Do any of you know if a member of staff bringing these beliefs in to work is a safeguard matter or will I just look like someone who isn’t in to free speech?
