Letter : Fine inspector
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.That Jane Brown, Hackney headteacher, has become a schools inspector is a victory for common sense (" 'Romeo and Juliet' row head becomes a school inspector", 26 May). Whilst politics and the media began an orgy of thinly veiled gay-bashing when Ms Brown's decision not to accept tickets for Romeo and Juliet was revealed two years ago, Brown herself quietly got on with the job of managing her successful primary school. We should also recall the overwhelming local support that she received from parents and governors throughout the time of "crisis". That they were adamant she was doing fine work is powerful evidence of her competence and suitability for the post of inspector.
