Oh dear Mr Gove, listen to your Boss.
There are few things in this life that turn my stomach, I have had the benefit of seeing many things as an adult and been accustomed to what that life can sometimes throw up at you, but one thing that has always turned my stomach is inappropriate behaviour from adults or teachers towards children.
This is in the news in a big way again and so it should be. The very fact that Michael Gove's department seems to be rubber stamping the careers of teachers who "kiss pupils on the lips" yet keep their jobs is an indictment that the PC brigade are still very much alive and well in government departments. I can assure Mr Gove that if that committee was made up solely of parents, those teachers would be walking out of their doors with a criminal record and a P.45, not a slap on the wrist and an assurance from those who dare to abuse children in this way that they will "mend their ways". Abuse is abuse, be it of a sexual orientation or just a kiss on the lips, in my eyes there is no middle ground, any interaction with our future generation from adults who are deemed role models and put in a position of trust is inexcusable and if this is some drive towards a more tolerant society well it can go take a running jump. If any of those teachers are reading this blog then do us all a favour, seek help and leave the profession, you are a disgrace to it and you have no place in a decent society, let alone a classroom.
I see Mr Cameron is advocating banning servers from allowing child abuse on the Internet, yet again about time too, but surely he needs to have a word with that wild card of an Education minister of his and ban those teacher's who deemed it OK to molest and kiss their charges while on his watch, but I somehow doubt that Cameron will do so, I wonder just what hold the said Mr Gove has over Cameron, for surely he is one of the most reviled Education Ministers ever to grace the post, from the Academy fiasco's to the undermining of teaching staff through changing OFSTED's requirements halfway through a school term this man is making a name for himself for all the wrong reason's yet he seems to think up new hair brained schemes every month or so without so much as a whimper from the man at the top, come on Mr Cameron, show us a little leadership and start by backing up your angry words about the Internet showing child abuse by actively seeking out and sacking those 11 teachers who have been given a "second chance" to molest our youngsters, because a Leopard is a Leopard, it can't change it's spots, the same as a yellow streak down your back remains a yellow streak, or can you prove otherwise, I somehow doubt it.
