Yeah I'm sure mouthing off like this a couple of years ago has fully endeared him to the press of the profession.
![a screen grab of Jonathan Gullis moments on teachers reading 1.Teachers who criticise Tories should be ‘sacked’
Speaking at a fringe meeting at the Conservative Party conference last year, Gullis suggested teachers who criticised the Tories should be sacked.
According to a recording obtained by The Independent, he attacked “woke left teachers” who, he said, were becoming “more and more apparent”. He said there should be “consequences” for teachers who “push [their] ideology in the classroom”.
He went on to claim that “for some reason, if a Labour party member wants to stand up in front of the classroom and say how bad and evil the Tories are, then the headteacher has to take some kind of sympathetic view to that”.
“It’s absolutely disgusting. We need to start sacking people who are pushing their political ideology.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:6yutkdsykrn2mz3frlgn27ca/bafkreifgqfbampneolhjvuuuooj2sgjeo5gnlhn6htkr7nvnqfi7i47hey@jpeg)
I had actually totally forgotten about these particular outbursts. He had so many – about migrants, about Gary Lineker, about his own constituents – that it's difficult to remember them all. But yeah, you'd think those are not going to be hugely popular viewpoints with head teachers.
