No way to form any opinion whatsoever on this story without knowing what the tweets said.

[A 17-year-old student claims he was excluded from college after sharing a meme which compared Shamima Begum to the Ku Klux Klan. Leo Shepherd, a student at Burnley College, says he was told by the school’s principal not to return for his second year of A-Levels because “it won’t work”. Leo says teachers have previously said he’s “a pleasure to teach”, while also claiming to be a “relatively good student”. Speaking on GB News’ Farage, he said: “I get on with stuff, the work and I do what I’m told and I don’t cause trouble unlike the mainstream.” Leo claims he was originally placed on home learning after making a comment about former Prime Minister Tony Blair and the Iraq War. He explained to Nigel: “Me taking a hit at Tony Blair and all the absolute pain and suffering he caused over the 20 years that the Iraq war went on. “He was only the Prime Minister for a bit of it, but he played such a major part in causing such a strategy. “I said he should’ve got it all done with at the beginning, rather than dragging it on for 20 years.” Leo shared a meme which compared Shamima Begum to the Ku Klux Klan Nigel asked: “Had you often made these types of comments?” Before Leo replied: “No not really, I’ve never been in trouble before, I’ve never even been looked at by a teacher for comments on anything else. “It was a big surprise and a first time experience.” The college then also found that Leo had shared a meme on Twitter which compared Jihadi bride Shamima Begum and ISIS to the Ku Klux Klan. Leo said: “One of my fellow students decided to bring it to the college’s attention after the Iraq comments because the college asked them to look into my social media and asked if there was anything that needed bringing to their attention despite it being posted and seen a year prior. “The principal told me she doesn’t want me to return for the second year, because they believe it won’t work and they don’t want me there essentially. “They said they will help me get into a different college.” In a statement, a spokesperson for Burnley College told GB News: "We have a duty of care to all our students, past and present, and strive to provide the safest learning environment in accordance with our Code of Conduct. “The college disagrees with the points made. However, we are unable to make reference to individual cases and are therefore unable to comment further.”] https://www.gbnews.uk/news/student-1...a-begum/323894 I would say Delete the tweets then return to class And do not do those tweets again.

The bit about the college asking one of Leo's fellow students to look on his social media suggests a bit of a witch hunt to me. They were actively looking for a reason to get rid of him.
Not that I agree with what he said. I don't. And standing up for a Tory goes against the grain for me but I feel he's been shafted.

He's only 17. He deserves another chance tbf. But then again would he be happy there after this. Maybe best moving on. Unfair though.

Not being told by Leo himself or the college staff? Or both sides?

Exactly. All the responses are intentionally vague and shifty - more to this (and the content of these tweets) than in being reported. Put simply… I don’t buy it. He wasn’t kicked out over a vague political comment about the Iraq war and one meme. Didn’t happen. Either the comments were far worse than is being made out, or it’s been a much longer and more drawn out “battle” over his social media conduct than he’s admitting. |

He won’t tell the full story because it’ll make him look bad. The college won’t tell the full story because a college passing comment to the press about a 17 year old would be unethical. Would be my guess. |

If this is true then the College is out of order, and the student grassing up a non-story to get Leo expelled should've been suspended for wasting the College's time.
However I am skeptical about this being the full story because why on earth would anyone be upset at these Tweets to the point of expulsion? It's what makes me think that there's more to the story. I mean I know the world is going nuts at the moment, I mean I've seen a Youtuber recently show Tweets saying that "misandry isn't real" and "gay white privilege" which is insane enough, but I don't think the world is this far gone.

All hail the Moyesiah
|
I googled Leo Shepherd Burnley College and this site is the third result lol, there's only a couple of niche sites reporting it who say it was due to his tweets about Rwanda
Whatever the case I think we're unlikely to get the full story so seems pointless to discuss |

Unless tweets surface which are worse than a meme comparing one group of extremist scumbags to another, it does seem like a witchhunt...

Either the College has broken the law with an unfair dismissal because of a Political bias, or this Leo kid has said something worse than he is letting on.

Do people honestly believe a college would risk a suit by kicking someone out for being a Tory? Come on now

The College are in the wrong here. But then again, it's getting to look like we no longer live in a democracy but rather in a regime, so in that case they probably think they've done right.
I believe his tweet was something about blowing up the Middle East. Had he have said Russia instead he'd probably have been given a reward. Last edited by Alf; 25-06-2022 at 09:58 AM. |

It’s nonsense there simply has to be more to it, the fact that the tweets aren’t being shown anywhere is simply proof that there IS more to it, probably a sustained pattern of behaviour after multiple warnings.
