Bingo. Give the man a toffee apple.

The point is not about DEGREE, but is about EXISTENCE of the political influence.

Teachers are there to educate students in facts and issues pursuant to completion of the syllabus, NOT to support a political agenda.

To say "it's only a small badge" is like saying "I only had one drink" or "I only said one swearword".

Whilst politics has its place in certain learning areas, campaigning never should.
