WHACKER WILSON WAS WRONG THEN?

If only I had know when I was at school! I distinctly remember old Whacker Wilson wielding his wicked wood (cane didn't begin with 'w'), and shouting at all of us impressionable youngsters "I don't care what you think! What you think is totally unimportant, so shut up, sit quietly and listen!"

Now I find that he was totally wrong and we should have had him thrown out of school according to a BBC report which assures us that: "A supply teacher has been sacked from a secondary school following complaints from Muslim pupils. Andrew McLuskey was sacked from Bayliss Court Secondary School in Slough after a Religious Education lesson discussing the pros and cons of religion. Pupils at the predominantly Muslim school claimed Mr McLuskey said most suicide bombers were Muslim… The school authorities denied they were being heavy-handed and said their first priority was pupils’ welfare. ‘I don’t think it’s important what I think,’ said the school’s deputy head teacher Ray Hinds. ‘It’s what the pupils think that were in the classroom at the time. And they were very upset.’"

Poor little things. So they were very upset at their teacher? Well, there we go then. What a beast of a teacher he must have been, upsetting the poor, sensitive little souls like that! Hmmm, I wonder if perhaps I can have a close shave, use a little botox... okay, a lot of botox... and pass myself off as a young school kid again, then I can actually enjoy school this time round?
