Banned Christian teacher speaks out: ‘Students had a vendetta against me’

Joshua Sutcliffe has been found guilty of “unacceptable professional conduct” and banned from teaching by the regulator for mis-gendering a pupil and failing to safeguard their emotional well-being. In this interview with Sam Hailes, the 33-year-old hits back, accusing the students of telling lies, and the regulator of being prejudiced against Christian beliefs

Christian teacher Joshua Sutcliffe, failed to treat his pupils with dignity and respect, and failed to safeguard their well-being.

That’s according to a judgement from the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) who last week banned him from teaching for at least the next two years.

The problem, according to Joshua, is the students lied in their evidence, and the TRA is also prejudiced against him, because they “don’t like Christian beliefs”.
