The General Teaching Council have been hearing the case against BNP member Adam Walker, a teacher accused of using school computer equipment to access online forums to post comments describing some immigrants as "savage animals" and "filth". Walker was employed as a technology teacher at Houghton Kepier Sports College in Houghton-le-Spring, near Sunderland at the time. He has since resigned his post.
Walker is the first teacher to appear before the GTC accused of racial intolerance.
A demonstration was organised outside the General Council hearing in Birmingham on Monday 24th May, pictures of the protest can be accessed on flickr at:
