‘Get the push for talking about cartoons’...I doubt it. You might get attacked by certain extremists, but the media is full of nonsense about teachers not being allowed to do one thing or the other. Back in the ‘80’s we were told not to ever discuss homos exuality because certain Thatcherite extremists couldn’t differentiate between discussing and advocating. In reality none of us took much notice and just got on with it...s ex education includes a knowledge of terminology and an understanding of what things mean...end of.

Either way...my point was...the headteacher/head of department would, imo, have been very lucky - and very unlikely - to keep his job.
I can’t see the difference between my fictional scenario and RK.
Your equating Head teacher with football captain? a captain of football club is a term given to such player as the manager chooses, it is isn't a contractual obligation and doesn't attract additional pay, indeed it is entirely likely that the captain isn't the highest paid player in a team, as such your assertion that he had additional responsibilities beyond the other players is incorrect. Again its down to the contractual relationship -

I didn't mention head teacher, I just asked you if you were 1 of 3 teachers who had a night out and as a result of the other two drink driving, you were injured and it was you that was sacked, would you think that fair?
