A UK teacher said he was reported to government counter-terrorism investigators and forced to resign just for showing high school senior-age students videos of President Trump. The politics teacher at Henley College in Oxfordshire, northwest of London, told the Telegraph he was accused of causing “emotional harm” to the students, who were all 17 or 18 years old — with child protective services suggesting he could be guilty of a “hate crime.” “They likened me to a terrorist. It was completely jarring,” the teacher, who asked for his name not to be used, told the paper.
“It’s dystopian, like something from a George Orwell novel.” Henley College, which has roughly 2,000 students, launched an investigation into the veteran educator in January after two students complained that using Trump videos meant he was “biased” and his teaching was “off topic.” One of the videos “made one of the students feel quite uncomfortable,” the school said, according to the Telegraph.
