The Can'ts vote to ban the Forces from Britain's schools

At their annual union conference Britain's teachers have voted to ban Britain's Armed Forces from our schools. So, the Can'ts are trying to get their own back; talk about playground politics. Their immature, irresponsible antics at their conference only serve to highlight how they are failing our children in our schools.

The Times: If teachers cannot understand the difference between political opposition to the war in Iraq and the role of the Army in the defence of the realm, then pity the pupils they claim to teach. It is one thing to grandstand at an NUT conference about the so-called iniquity of an illegal invasion. It is quite another to undermine a profession, which is an essential pillar of the State, in front of a class of impressionable youngsters.
