WWYD? DCs' Karate instructor has "liked" A BNP photo on FB.

[FocusClap]

He's just a young lad, got an excellent business/marketing head, but is incredibly immature.
He is my FB friend and uses FB as a marketing tool, so I assume he has other parents on his friends list.
Do I have a motherly word with him about the inapproriateness of it? And if so, do I go further and tell him wha a nob he's being for having such a political affiliation.
Class starts in 30 mins.

I would have a quiet word and suggest nicely that he shouldn't mix his political beliefs with his business as some people may find it offensive.

Suggest he has a separate fb page for work clients etc

I would definitely mention it and probably go as far as saying if he pollutes your fb with racist crap you'll pull your business from him.

Personally, I think I would withdraw my dc from his class telling him why. But I have no tolerance at all for things like that.

If he's old enough to be in a position of influence with young children, then he's old enough to know better IMO.

I agree with roundtable.

I know I really should, but I fell I would be punishing my DS by removing him from class. Tbh, I don't do FB that frequently and I could be completely unaware of this idiocy. I have not seen any evidence of it in class or social time with him.
I shall give him the heads up of how completely wrong it is to even think along those lines, let alone in such a visible manner.

Is he the only karate instructor in your area then?

I wouldn't see it as punishing my ds, I would explain the situation to them, hopefully ensuring that they grow up with a strong moral backbone. Then I would find a new instructor for them.

Defiantly have a word, what is the photo? Maybe he doesn't realise what the BNP is about and has just agreed with one photo he has seen

I would definitely find another class, and tell him why.

Is not really just about using fb inappropriately though is it? It's the affiliation to BNP that is the issue. Was it absolutely clear that it was BNP?

If so, I'd withdraw. Two of my sons aren't white anyway, so I'd feel very uncomfortable continuing.

I'd also withdraw and tell him why. He is in a position of influence and pupils are taught to respect their martial arts instructors. I would not want someone with these views teaching my kids anything.

What happened OP?
