UK politics teacher reported to terrorism investigators for showing students Trump videos: ‘Dystopian’
NY Post ^ | 12/26/2025 | Patrick Reilly

A UK teacher said he was reported to government counter-terrorism investigators and forced to resign just for showing high school senior-age students videos of President Trump.

The politics teacher at Henley College in Oxfordshire, northwest of London, told the Telegraph he was accused of causing “emotional harm” to the students, who were all 17 or 18 years old — with child protective services suggesting he could be guilty of a “hate crime.”

“They likened me to a terrorist. It was completely jarring,” the teacher, who asked for his name not to be used, told the paper.

“It’s dystopian, like something from a George Orwell novel.”

Henley College, which has roughly 2,000 students, launched an investigation into the veteran educator in January after two students complained that using Trump videos meant he was “biased” and his teaching was “off topic.”

One of the videos “made one of the students feel quite uncomfortable,” the school said, according to the Telegraph.

In an email, school officials wrote he was alleged “to have shown your students videos of Donald Trump, his campaign, propaganda, and other videos which are unrelated to what is being taught.”

“It was just terrifying; just mind-boggling,” said the politics teacher, who is in his 50s and has been teaching since the 1990s.

“We were discussing the US election, Trump had just won, and I showed a couple of videos from the Trump campaign,” said the baffled teacher, who admitted he is a Republican supporter.

“Next thing, I was accused of bias. One of the students said they were emotionally disturbed and claimed to have had nightmares.”

Henley College referred the case to the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO), an official who investigates safety concerns, according to the Telegraph.

They recently postponed elections in nine councils.

Are talking about postponing more council elections.

And a Labor apparatchik recently refused to rule out postponing the general when asked repeatedly in a TV interview.

I’m beginning to think the UK will not be voting their way out of this.

This will lead to even greater self-censorship. Good teachers will become paralyzed, afraid to stray even an inch from the accepted, woke narrative.

Which is, of course, exactly what the British state wants.

As part of the litigation settlement President Trump should require the BBC show five minutes of his speeches every hour of every day.

Then the British police can arrest all of the BBC executives and staff for “hate speech” and give them long prison terms.

Then the BBC will have to shut down operations since nobody can work for their “terrorist hate organization” any more.

Lol.

Many people completely misunderstand free speech. They think it means they can say whatever nonsense they want. What they fail to grasp is that free speech also gives me the right to openly disagree, and that is where many in the United States begin to call for censorship.

So. In a class about politics, they’re not allowed to show video of a politician who got the most votes? Man. Britain is in a bad way

Soviets called them NKVD IIRC.

Why are we protecting these people from the Russians via NATO?

The death of free speech rides the back of progressive insanity.

The teacher should have showed the students videos of Prince Andrew - to celebrate their monarchy and all.

Big shocker. /s

What ‘is’ a shocker:

The lack of cojones among Conservative commentators in regard to taking on the UK public directly.

Some hard charging derision & ridicule is warranted and maybe - just maybe - if the Brits won’t respond to their arms being twisted behind their backs or boots upon their necks...

...they might respond to abject ridicule.

Before it’s too late (very close).

In case you were wondering why Brit boys are all poofters and cucks while the muzzards rape the girls with no resistance at all.

But yeah, sure, Starmer's pajama boys will go fight the putards in Ukraine. Sure...
