US EditionTeacher ‘likened to terrorist’ after showing Trump videos to students
A teacher was referred to the UK Government's Prevent counter-terrorism program after students complained about showing Trump campaign videos causing emotional harm.
- An Oxfordshire teacher in his 50s was referred to Prevent after showing Donald Trump campaign footage and unrelated material to A-level US politics students, Henley College reported to safeguarding authorities.
- After two student complaints, the college opened an investigation into the teacher, who was reassigned to politics in September 2024 after students aged 17 and 18 said his lessons caused `emotional harm`.
- A safeguarding report warned that his behaviour `could cause harm to a child` and suggested a `criminal offence`, while the teacher said he had shown five Trump-related videos and the `Daddy's Home` music video by Roseanne Barr and Tom MacDonald.
- By April he faced formal misconduct allegations, launched a grievance procedure, was effectively forced to resign from Henley College, and now works part-time as a supply teacher while seeking full-time work.
- The Free Speech Union defended the teacher as a victim of `bullying and harassment` and disputed the `genocide video` claim, noting it was part of Holocaust Education Trust materials, while Henley College said it follows statutory safeguarding guidance.
