Apparently the school management learnt about the teacher’s crime from Facebook or Twitter. The lesson to all of us – stay away from social media as far as possible!! It may costs you your job!!

A teacher at one of Australia’s most prestigious private schools has been suspended after he reportedly boasted about his attendance at an anti-lockdown protest on social media. Police have vowed to issue public infringement notices to every one of the 3,500 protesters who stormed the Sydney CBD demanding an end to lockdown.

While I appreciate that people are free to hold their own views and beliefs, this does not extend to their behaviour and conduct,’ headmaster Tony George wrote.

‘It is the mark of civil society that we should be able to engage in healthy debate and respect each other’s views, but this must be in a safe, lawful and respectful manner, at all times.

‘Consequently, the matter has been reported to police by the school, and the staff member has been suspended from duties.’
