  • Felix Ngole, 38, expelled from Sheffield University after Facebook message
  • Postgraduate father of four had been studying to become a social worker
  • Set to appeal because of consequences for the ‘freedom of expression’

    Shame on Sheffield University.I hope this young man is re-instated. What were they doing checking out his FB page. This would put me off recommending Sheffield Uni ito anyone. I work in Education and you would never get away with this in N. Ireland. Keep strong and may The Lord bless you for taking your stand.

    It isn’t just happening there. It’s happening here in the U.S. as well. Good for him for standing up!
