Primary school teacher sacked over online post he made after yobs threatened his family
A PRIMARY school teacher has been sacked over a Facebook post he made when yobs threatened his family.
Michael Flynn, 52, wrote a message encouraging the louts’ parents to contact him “or I will sort this out my way”.
He was enraged when the boys said they would bring people to rape his wife, Angela, and murder his family.
The next day the yobs returned and threatened to throw a rock through his window.
Twydall Primary School, in Gillingham, Kent, said Flynn broke the school’s policy on social media.
It said: “The wellbeing of our pupils is our priority.”
“We take our responsibilities to safeguard children extremely seriously.
“We cannot discuss individual cases but incidents brought to our attention are fully investigated and acted upon in line with our policies and procedures, which align with Department for Education guidance.”
Flynn, who lives in an assisted-living home with his wife and disabled stepdaughter, said: “I have stolen nothing and I’ve threatened no one.
“I am the victim of a crime yet I am being punished.”
He fears it has ended his teaching career.
He said: “I loved teaching and this is certainly not the way I wanted to end my career.”
