Colin Jordan, the Coventry schoolteacher whose ouster from the educational system is being demanded by some parents at Coventry, on the grounds that he is an organizer for the neo-fascist British National Party, indicated here today that he will fight the attempts to have him dismissed.
Jordan made a statement here declaring "there is no question about my influencing the students in regard to the aims of the British National Party." He said he will not quit his post at the Coventry school or seek transfer to another school voluntarily.
Jordan became known as an organizer for the neo-fascist group here two weeks ago when, with seven other members of his party, he was fined in a London court for carrying violently anti-Semitic banners in front of the Princess Theatre here, while a meeting was being held commemorating the martyrdom of the heroes of the Warsaw Ghetto rebellion against the Nazis.
