“The arguments referencing the risk of homosexuality and abortion may well be welcome and normal within the context of [his] private life and views. However they are disgraceful when used in the present context. The balance of [the teacher’s] arguments are borne from unrealistic hysteria and we need not go into them further.”

Brutal. Good on them for sending such a strong message about their low opinion of bigoted teachers.

    You have to actually use it as your name. If you made it up on the spot, it probably falls under fraud or something similar, so may not be a legal assuming of a new name.

      But couldn’t this be the first time you’re using it? Some time has to be the first time. Especially if you kept using it after that. I know it’s convoluted contrived, I just like playing these things out in my head.

        This is why I want to find the legislation that backs it up! If the rules are written down then it’s easier to find loopholes!

        If it’s just common law, backed up by precedent, that’s a lot less fun.
