Teacher banned for his belief that people who use cannabis should not be criminalised
A WIGAN teacher has been banned from the country’s classrooms for at least five years after being caught growing cannabis at his home.
The ban was imposed on Alan Taylor, 43, by Education Secretary Michael Gove, following a disciplinary panel finding that Taylor was guilty of breaching the standard of conduct expected of teachers.
It is the second time that Taylor – who taught science at Westleigh High - has found himself before a disciplinary panel over his cannabis use.
