Former secondary school teacher says no age is too young to be politically active

Politics in schools?

A primary school in Sydney asked its year five and six students to display posters about the black lives matter protests.

Some posters read 'Stop Killer Cops', and 'Pigs out of the country'.

The New South Wales police minister wants the teacher involved sacked, and the education minister says there's no room for political activism in schools.

Activist and former secondary school teacher, John Minto, spoke with Tim Dower.

"These students are exposed even at a young age to their siblings or parents or social media to these things."
