Colin Jordan, imprisoned leader of the fascist British Union movement, will appear before the “professional conduct committee” of the British Union of Teachers Tuesday, to answer charges of unprofessional conduct outside the classroom where he taught at Coventry.
Jordan is serving a nine-month prison term for violating the Public Order Act through the conduct of anti-Semitic demonstrations. He is a member of the British Teachers Union. If found guilty by his union’s committee, he could appeal the decision.
