Popular teacher sacked for controversial opinions

It has been confirmed that Mr Larry Ginneper, a popular teacher at Broomfield Bridge Comprehensive (BBC) has been sacked after repeatedly sharing his controversial opinions on social media.

Mr Ginneper's position at the BBC has been under scrutiny as he had authored posts on Twitter and Bluesky which, among other things, suggest that Brexit was a mistake, pumping sewage into lakes and rivers is a bad thing, transgender people deserve equal rights and having a diverse population is a good thing.

Even though he didn't bring any of these subjects into the classroom and was a consummate professional when working, angry parents - but also a load of people who don't actually have kids at the school, but read about it on the Daily Mail website - demanded his immediate dismissal. Despite the fact he was popular with his students and fellow teachers, BBC headmaster Mr David Timothy asked Mr Ginneper toleave.

'Mr Ginneper has proven himself time and again to be intelligent, personable and easygoing, all of which served him very well as a teacher,' Mr Timothy said in a statement.

'He has overseen an increase in the GCSE pass rate for his class of 30%, and he has the highest rate of students who go on to university. Honestly, pretty much every student who's ever been in his class has spoken highly of him, and he's helped some troubled kids to turn their lives around. However, his idea of what is a valid opinion differs from what is considered acceptable at the moment, and since the school is now in a Reform UK constituency he simply had to go.'

Naturally, the people who wanted him sacked still aren't happy, and are demanding to be allowed to tar and feather him on the way out.
