Teacher with public Facebook page and very political views. Would you find this offensive?

[Yellowbowlbanana]

My dd came home from school today and showed me a Facebook page belonging to one of her teachers. His posts were there for all to see although comments had been disabled. His personal information was not visible either.

His page was basically a homage to the Conservative party but at the expense of others with differing views. Everyone who supports labour or is a liberal is left-wing trash/Marxist/communist. He shares conspiracy theories that China imported the Covid variant because we were getting on top of the vaccine. He makes fun of Prince Harry asking if he's started lactating in a thinly veiled attempt to question his masculinity. He calls anyone who voted for Scottish independence an anglophobic dimwit and a bigot.
I have no problem with people sharing their political opinion but I really hate the need to squash others when doing so. I am sure that he is not sharing these views with his students but as they are all able to see them they are all clearly aware.
I think he is a very clever man but he is a shit teacher for my dd and I really don't like him. He was completely negligent in the first lockdown to the point that I made a formal complaint against him. I don't know whether this is clouding my viewpoint or whether this is an actual issue.
What do you think?
YANBU - this is not acceptable
YABU - this is perfectly fine

Back in the day when I was in sixth form, the head of year stood for the Lib Dems in a general election. It did influence all the over 18 students to vote for him - not because they liked him or his policies, but in the desperate hope he would become an MP and would leave the school.

Sadly the plan didn't work.

I love some of the assumptions on here 😂
I never said I would complain about this. I just asked if others felt it was an issue.
And yes I would feel exactly the same way if someone with more left leaning views felt the need to express them at the expense of others. To me it highlights ignorance.

It sounds very much like a teacher I know. I've often considered reporting him myself, not because there's anything wrong with healthy political debate but because of the insults and offensive language he uses if you disagree with him.

@RachelRavenRoth

As a teacher, if i found out a colleague was a tory, i would absolutely report them.

Seriously or was that a joke.

Expressing an opinion, in your private life, highlights ignorance?

@Geamhradh not just an anecdote, an example of how some teacher's are so blind they cannot see and are tone deaf to their target market.
This school was in a leafy suburb, many business and land owner parent's, hasn't been a labour seat for donkey's years.
The teacher was deluded to think his poorly written diatribe would make a difference and to not even consider it was a disciplinary matter was very short sighted of him.

A teacher who votes conservative?! Bloody I didn’t realise there was such a thing!

I thought this was a free country where people were entitled to hold and express views unless they actively called for harm to be done to others.

I wonder if OP would have been of the same view if the page praised the Labour Party and heaped muck on the stories instead?
