'Angry' Farnley Academy protester speaks out on standing up to his school
Protesting Leeds school pupils have spoken out about why their new toilet policy makes them feel “angry and sad”.
Headmaster Chris Stokes has hit out at "abhorrent comments" from adults which he claims includes " threats of violence towards members of staff, myself included". This morning, pupils waved banners which said 'Human Rights' and 'It's our right to have a s***', along with chants of 'human rights'. “I’m not being funny, if I was going to the toilet for two minutes then I’m not going to fail my GCSEs! The school response has not been very good as they’re just passing us off, it’s annoying.
“And then apparently there’s been threats to staff and things like that, but I haven’t seen anything of the kind. Whether he’s blowing smoke, I don’t know.” McKauly’s mum Natalie said that protesting children were told if they were to enter the school, then they’d be excluded. Libby’s mum Sonia said: “All I want for the kids is for them to uses their voices. It’s not easy for a child to stand up to an authority figure.
