I was persecuted for being a Christian, says teacher sacked over Connolly comments

A teacher who was sacked after saying Lucy Connolly was a victim of “two-tier policing” says he has been persecuted for being a Christian.

Simon Pearson, 56, was accused of Islamophobia after saying in a private Facebook group that Connolly should not have been jailed, and believes he would still be in a job if he had been accused of offending Christians and not Muslims.
