The Council has directly avoided any criticism of anyone involved in the ‘never seconds’ blog for obvious reasons despite a strongly held view that the information presented in it misrepresented the options and choices available to pupils however this escalation means we had to act to protect staff from the distress and harm it was causing
Schools: jobs programs which occasionally produce educated students as an industrial biproduct.
Is the text in italics from an earlier version of the council's statement? The linked page seems to have language that is as supportive of the student's blog as is possible.
Normally a fair comment, except in this case the school was actually supportive, and it was council officials (unelected local government workers) who imposed the ban.
The leader of the council (Roddie McCuish - an elected politician) was interviewed on national radio and stated that he had just instructed senior officials to reverse the ban.
