Landmark ruling from he Court of Appeal concerning a pastoral administrator sacked from a Gloucestershire school. This case has dragged on for 7 years but she has won. The way she has been treated for expressing her view that the diversity materials being provided at her children's primary school [not the one she worked at] were not appropriate is truly appalling.
Sorry I could not get a share token but maybe someone can oblige.

Thanks @IwantToRetire
Just a short extract

"Days before the Christmas break seven years ago, senior teachers at a secondary school in Gloucestershire ordered one of their administrators to attend a disciplinary meeting.
Over six and a half hours Kristie Higgs was accused of being a “neo-Nazi extremist” for sharing her beliefs about LGBT relationships in two private social media posts.
Three judges, led by Lord Justice Underhill, said the secondary school’s decision to sack Higgs “was unquestionably a disproportionate response”."

I feel so angry for this woman 😡
