Maurice Smith said: "To bar teachers, or other members of the school workforce, from joining non-proscribed organisations would be a profound political act. "

Maurice Smith said: "The most recent public concern is focused on independent schools staffed by unqualified teachers," "The measures to protect against the promotion of racism by qualified teachers have less influence in the independent sector compared to maintained schools, because there is no evidence regarding the proportion of teachers in the independent sector who are qualified"

Ed Balls added: "All the available evidence suggests that these associations have high expectations of their members and have their own procedures for handling cases where problems arise. "

Nick Griffin said: "All teachers should ... keep their politics strictly separate from the classroom,"

Christine Blower said: "Of course he was not asked to address the wider issue of the real and major threat of the BNP and other fascist organisations to local communities such as Barking and Dagenham, and Stoke," "In communities such as these, schools are very real havens of community cohesion and tolerance. In the runup to a general election we cannot ignore the fact that there has been a significant upsurge of activity from the BNP. Should they be successful in gaining any further electoral ground that would be damaging"

Quotes in this article

Chris Keates said: "The idea that a person who signs up to membership of the BNP can simply leave these beliefs at the school gate and behave as a 'professional' when they walk into school is risible, " "The report is woefully inadequate and littered with contradictions"

John Dunford said: "Of course people with racist views should not be working with young people in schools. However, it is much less clear that there should be a blanket regulation on the issue. "The aim should be genuinely to challenge young people to think for themselves and to form their own opinions rather than to promote a particular ideology"

Maurice Smith said: "I do not believe that barring teachers or other members of the wider school workforce from membership of legitimate organisations which may promote racism is necessary at present, although it should be kept under active review. "
