Teacher Reverend Robert West, banned from the profession for life (Google image)
Lincolnshire, (IINA) - A British teacher has been banned from the profession for life after he repeatedly attacked Islam and Muslims in his classes, according to media reports.
“The panel is satisfied that the conduct of Reverend Robert West fell short of the standards expected of the profession,” the ruling issued and published by National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) read.
“Accordingly the panel is satisfied that West is guilty of unacceptable professional conduct and conduct that may bring the profession into disrepute.
“The conduct of Reverend West could damage the public's perception of the teaching profession,” it added.
The action was taken by NCTL after pupils complained about inappropriate remarks made by West, BBC reported on Tuesday.
West, who stood as a British National Party (BNP) candidate and received the least votes, made the comments during history lessons at a girls' school in Grantham.
When a Year 12 pupil said she was allergic to horses, West replied, "I'm allergic to Muhammadans".
When asked by a Year 12 pupil whether there was anything wrong with being a Muslim he said, "Yes, because we are fighting them".
Following the incidents, West was banned from classrooms for life after the NCTL found him guilty of unacceptable professional conduct.
Britain is home to an estimated Muslim minority of nearly 2.8 million.
The BNP, a far-right and whites-only political party, is notorious for attacks against immigrants and British Muslims.
