Are MNHQ interested in facilitating a Just Giving page to support teachers...

.... in view of the AIBU thread about the online monstering of the teacher who was assaulted by a pupil. Lots of support for the school and teacher, plus a wish by many posters to answer the bullies online petition with one of our own. I suggested a Just Giving campaign in aid of a charity called Teacher Support, primarily as it can directly benefit any teacher put in this position but also because I think that a rival petition would also be a magnet for shitty comments by Pie Boy's friends and apologists, which rather defeats the purpose. (If the little scrotes want to pay to leave their insults then more fool them; they can be deleted anyway).

What do you think?

Hi vindscreen

Thanks for flagging this up.

As meditrina has pointed out, we've just run a big consultation for our Giving Week (which is coming up very soon and will be focused around online giving to five charities and organisations nominated by lots of MNers). So timing-wise this would be a bit confusing.

And as this thread shows, while lots of you are understandably supportive of the teacher concerned, there's not really enough of a consensus for us to give this the full MNHQ welly.

That said, do please continue to use the boards to organise - lots of wildly successful campaigns have come about through MNers organising among themselves. We'll have a look to see if we can do some Tweeting to publicise the thread a bit.
