Freedom Of Speech
What has happened to it? These were year 6 pupils who will probably have the vote (in Scotland they would have anyway). Are schools not supposed to teach politics as part of the wider curriculum in eg Modern Studies?

It's utter stupidity like this that undermines the reputation of teachers everywhere.
No-one needs to fuel the endless and inaccurate fire that the media stoke up, that teachers are all Left-Wing mind-controllers polluting the brains of their pupils.
Successive governments have done wonders in undermining the status and respect of teachers over generations, and now some idiot plays into their hands with this utterly facile stunt.
I despair.

The report and the school letterhead indicate it was a Primary school (up to 11 year olds).
Perhaps some of these pupils could be encouraged to post here, their efforts are far better argued than most posts on AB.
// they picked a convicted terrorist as one of their role models //
I assume you mean Nelson Mandella.

// Rebecca Gittins, headteacher at Welbeck Primary School, said: “As part of a democracy topic, the Year Six class has been looking closely at national politics, our leaders and decision-makers, while discussing fact and opinion.
“There is no ‘teaching’ of politics. We explain processes and structure, with the children encouraged to express their thoughts.
“Year Six pupils watched recent coverage on Newsround about Downing Street and some of them asked to write to their local MP to share their views.
“This lesson was linked to the English curriculum where children constructed letters using their skills to form arguments, assess evidence and develop their critical thinking. //
