A teacher who was convicted of a race crime after calling a youth 'white trash' has been reprimanded by the General Teaching Council for her 'unacceptable professional conduct'.
But the GTC's Professional Conduct Committee decided that, although it was a 'serious' matter, it was not necessary to suspend Jane Turner from the classroom.
Mrs Turner was working at Moseley School, a specialist language college in Birmingham, when she was convicted at Halesowen Magistrates' Court in October 2009 of using racially threatening words or behaviour likely to cause harassment or distress six months earlier outside a school 20 miles away.
Jane Turner, a teacher at Moseley School in Birmingham (pictured), told a child 'Go and play with your own little white friends, you're nothing but white trash'. The incident happened outside a different school 20 miles away
She was made subject of a community order for one year with a requirement to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work, and was ordered to pay compensation of £50.
The General Teaching council also investigated and announcing its decision said: 'On 22nd April 2009 Mrs Turner witnessed a dispute between a group of young people near school premises.
'Mrs Turner intervened in the dispute and in the heat of the moment was observed by a parent of one of the other children saying, "Go and play with your own little white friends, you're nothing but white trash".'
