I saw a reassurance here yesterday that the bar is high re. dismissal for GC views in academia, but this isn't very reassuring.

Do you mean you saw a post saying 'this never happens'?

As it does happen. Which is why we are so angry.

Schools are not academia; headteachers can basically do what they like.

She wasn’t. She was protesting about her ds’s primary. She works at a secondary.

You generally aren't allowed to criticise your employer without consequences.

Who looks after HR in secondary schools? The headteacher? Governors? The County Council? I saw a reassurance here yesterday that the bar is high re. dismissal for GC views in academia, but this isn't very reassuring.
