17-year-old quits course after she was told to "get out" of class for supporting far-right leader Tommy Robinson
Alissa Gray-Cook says she's now "terrified" to return and that she's decided to quit her course after just that one class because of the incident
A teenager quit her art and employability course at Total People in Crewe, Cheshire, U.K., after she was given a "final warning for being too right-wing" about her ideologies. 17-year-old Alissa Gray-Cook was taking part in a political debate on the first day of the class when she says she declared her support for far-right activist and English Defense League (EDL) founder Tommy Robinson, resulting in an unpleasant confrontation.
While her other classmates expressed solidarity with Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, Gray-Cook said she leaned more towards right-wing ideologies. This reportedly resulted in a teacher telling her to "get out" because the class did not need "people with your views."
