A primary school teacher who accused colleagues of 'blackophobia' after they complained they were too scared to use the word 'black' around her for fear of being called racist has won a discrimination claim.
Andrea Mairs was let go from her job of 20 years at Kings Road Primary School in Stretford, Manchester, in 2022 after six of her fellow staff claimed her 'relentless complaining' about racial issues in the classroom left them feeling 'intimidated', an employment tribunal heard.
In one instance, Miss Mairs objected to a visiting magician referring to pupils as 'little monkeys' - which resulted in any reference to the word being banned from the school.
Subsequently, library books were removed, art displays were taken down and the nursery and reception classes were forced to stop singing a song called 'Five Little Monkeys' as a consequence, the tribunal was told.
Members of the school's senior leadership team (SLT) then launched a collective grievance against Miss Mairs, insisting they were too 'afraid to use the word black' in her presence and feared being the victims of 'vicious allegations' of racism.
The six threatened to stage a 'wild cat strike' if the teacher were to remain at the school.
Miss Mairs - who the panel heard was 'doted on' by students - was eventually sacked due to the breakdown in the relationship between her and colleagues.
But she has now successfully sued the school and the local council for race discrimination over her treatment.

Perpetual victimhood is the only way some can thrive in this world.
Being the descendant of a slave is winning the black lottery.
So, she made a nuscance of herself, got fired for it, the sued and won..
The entire movement to end human slavery originated in England.
That’s the glide path for every insufferable black person with a grievance.

When the Hispanics take over, you will see an immediate end to this $hit. If anything, the Latino conquerors will bring back slavery and the blacks will take it and like it. /spit
