The father suggested it might be more complicated than that, his child said 'Oh no,daddy, the teacher said that so it must be true'.
Whatever your politics, is it right that this sort of indoctrination of seven year olds(or any other age) at school should be permitted? I certainly don't think so.

At my own primary school I had some wonderful teachers, who I learned later were socialists.
Though this influence was counterbalanced by also having Peter Britcliffe on the teaching staff.
