That school (and its education authority) are going to get hammered in the employment tribunal. They have not got a leg to stand on.
I find her views idiotic, but she has every right to be an idiot in her private life.
And the principle is so well established in connection with civil servants (teachers aren't civil servants but I can't see any basis for teaching being treated differently) that I don't think they'll have any sort of defence. (Basically, civil servants below grade 7 can engage in any political activity they want - short of a proscribed organisation - so long as they do it in their own time and don't tie it their employer. The rules are absolutely crystal clear.)
