From the BBC:
Schools Secretary Ed Balls has ordered a study into whether members of organisations which "promote racism" should be banned from being teachers. He told the Labour conference he wanted to ensure there were sufficient "powers" available "to keep racism and BNP activity out of schools".
What have we wrought in the UK?

Promote racism as in give preferential treatment to certain racial groups? I would love to see that come back to bite the Righteous
BTW, does the blogosphere have any formula to measure the half-life of Party initiatives, so we can put a predictive number on how long it's live before disppearing into the ether, crowded out by other new initiatives?
They just don't give up, do they.
Mind you, I'm still waiting for Cameron to say that he'd do something different.
That's great coming from frigging Balls - the globalist sap.
I think Ed Balls is probably right on this one,though he is choosing the wrong ground to fight the BNP on.
However ,did you see Eddie Izzard asking him on stage at the Brighton Conference " Seriously, did n't you think of changing your name when you were younger? To Steve Balls or something?"Yok ,yok
I saw Harriet Harman's speech where she also raised the spectre of the BNP she said something like:
"we will work with black and Asian communities to fight the BNP.
Showing that we are on their side."
Isn't that what the BNP accuse the government of, being on the side of ethnic minorities?
"Mind you, I'm still waiting for Cameron to say that he'd do something different."
You'll be waiting a long, long time, LfaT. He's too busy sending up trial balloons to see what the reaction is likely to be to backtracking on election promises..
The last time I heard the BNP were a ligit political party and were entitled to recruit from all walks of society and bar those that do not fit in with their criteria. Now this is the time to say that I never have been a member of the BNP, never would be a member of the BNP and know of nobody who is a member of the BNP. (Remind you of anything in history? No, not even Joseph Raymond McCarthy and his witch-hunt of communists?)
What next Ed Balls, keeping smokers from teaching?
BigYin, don't give them ideas!
They're already planning to stop teachers going out on the razz at weekends.
Showing that we are on their side.
What, like the way Hattie tried to put an Anglo-Indian bloke, George Ward, out of business in the Grunwick dispute, and helped gee up a lot of Asian women so they lost their jobs only to discover they didn't really have very marketable skills and that Grunwick could process films anywhere; not just Willesden?
If she had really wanted to help, she'd have been better off giving free lessons at the WEA - how to be a legal secretary, literacy, numeracy - anything which might have meant that George Ward's workers could walk out and get a better paid job. Instead, the nasty woman tried to climb on the back of other less privileged women and build her career by letting THEM take the real risks while she did a bit of grandstanding. Only not too much as she didn't want to get arrested.
Hattie is a fraud in every conceivable sense; a disgrace to feminism and a disappointment to my redder friends who, wrong though they are about nearly everything, don't run away when threatened and wouldn't dream of getting their kids in to selective schools while pulling up the ladder for everyone else.
On their side, indeed. Bah, humbug. There's only one side Hattie has ever been on.
We thought racism was part of the past. Unfortunately, racism does exit nowadays. It is threatening all of us.
