Ban partisan political views by teachers & lecturers in their professional role — 21 signatures. Status: rejected.
Require teachers & lecturers in state schools/unis to avoid partisan politics in their professional roles, incl. social media.
We call on the Government to introduce legislation requiring all teachers and lecturers in state-funded schools and universities to refrain from publicly expressing partisan political views while acting in their professional capacity, including on social media identifiable as their workplace role. This should strengthen existing impartiality rules to ensure pupils receive balanced education free from personal views.
