You know very well I'm not referring to that letter, Andy. I'm referring to an email that has been passed to me that was sent to the Head of an outstanding school in Ealing that had been considering whether to become an Academy. The email, dated 25 June 2010, is from Stefan Simms, assistant secretary to Ealing NUT and a member of the Socialist Workers Party. It ends on this charming note: "We will campaign with all at our disposal to prevent any school becoming an Academy." Even Simms acknowledges this was threatening. After the Head complained about the tone of his email, he responded as follows: "If the tone of the arguments were too robust and aggressive and therefore counterproductive ... then obviously I regret that. ...I would urge you to heed the points I raised in the previous email and ignore the manner in which they were made." So not biased reporting, but an accurate account of what happened. |
