Batley Grammar School, a local grammar school in Batley seen empty, devoid of a time when the area is to elect a new MP in a by-election, the controversial local grammar school; Batley Grammar School is still making news following a suspension of a teacher and later the school was shut after the teacher showed a controversial image of the prophet Muhammad to his pupils while discussing blasphemy and racism during an Religious Education (RE) class. The school was closed after two days of protests by locals who called for the teacher to be dismissed. The teacher and his family have moved anonymously as they fear for their safety. Another two RE staff have left due to safety concerns and supply teachers are now providing cover. This has become an issue of free speech during the by-election campaign.
