Grey Coat Hospital School in London have suspended 29 girls schoolgirls for using social networking website Facebook to engage in a hate campaign against their teacher. Headteacher Rachel Allard said the girls were suspended for up to 15 days for persecuting a member of staff using a Facebook hate page.
As a result of the attack, the Telegraph newspaper claim the targeted teacher was forced to seek counselling. The offending Facebook page has now been removed.
Headteacher Allard added: “The vast majority of parents who have been to see me about this incident are supportive of the school and understand why we have taken firm disciplinary action.”
