Facebook row headteacher is suspended over slur allegations

A HEADTEACHER at the centre of a row over alleged Facebook slurs has been suspended.

The Mail understands Debbie Johnson, headteacher of Westcott Primary School, was suspended yesterday afternoon.

She is the second teacher to be ordered away from the school following the alleged insults.

Nyanza Roberts was suspended 12 days ago for her part in the conversation, in which she allegedly called people in east Hull "thick" and "inbred".

Hull City Council refused to comment on the latest suspension, which came the day after parents attended a highly-charged meeting with MP Karl Turner to voice their anger.

A council spokeswoman told the Mail they would make no further comment until an investigation is over.

However, parents said they were pleased Ms Johnson had been removed from the school.

Melissa Lowson, who has one child at the school, said: "I'm glad she has gone. I think she should have been suspended at the same time as Nyanza Roberts.

"We all write things on Facebook, but I believe to let the conversation carry on, was wrong.

Ross Gardiner: you need to get off facebook

Que as pessoas estão ficando viciadas nas redes sociais, todo mundo já sabe. O TechTudo postou inclusive algumas declarações de especialistas sobre os riscos que isso pode causar aos internautas. Mas nada foi tão comentado quanto o vídeo de um jovem no Youtube pedindo para as pessoas abandonarem o Facebook.

A ideia de Ross Gardiner para you need to get off facebook foi de se filmar no meio de uma rua na Coreia do Sul com alguns cartazes com "verdades inconvenientes" sobre o Facebook - como aceitar o convite de amizade de pessoas das quais você não gosta. Filmado por uma Canon 7D, editado no Final Cut Pro e produzido pela Sonny Side Films, o vídeo de 6m15 ainda conta com a música "Marching the Hate machine", de Thievery Corporation, como trilha sonora. 

Ironicamente, este pedido para as pessoas voltarem a ficar "offlines" fez o maior sucesso na Internet, principalmente em redes sociais. O vídeo original já conseguiu mais de 2 milhões deviews e inúmeras paródias e versões. Abaixo você confere a versão legendada em português pelo TechTudo.
