'I was called curry lover and humiliated by other teachers': The toxic truth about staffroom bullying
Sky News exposes the scale of staff-on-staff bullying at UK schools from more than 320 current and former teachers. Some have suffered a devastating emotional toll and were paid thousands to "keep quiet".
When Maya* started a new teaching job, she did not expect to be called the n-word as she walked down the corridor.
The bullying from her fellow teachers proved relentless. She was called a "curry lover" and believes she was hidden from meeting parents at one point due to her skin colour.
It was not just racism she faced there but also sexism. Male colleagues told her she would have to "bend over a desk to get a promotion" and had "blowjob lips". Incidents like these happened "almost every day", she says.
Eventually forced to leave her job, Maya signed a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) making her unable to speak about the abuse she suffered. As part of the conditions of her exit, she also received a significant payout, which she describes as "money to keep quiet".

Indian, Japanese or Vietnamese? I prefer Vietnamese myself.
Never had a real Vietnamese curry, just imitations of Thai curries from Vietnamese shops. My friend’s family promised to make it for me but it’s been 20 years and I think he might be dead or on a meth-fueled tour of every truck stop bathroom on the east coast. Anyway, how’s it compare?
Red curry is my favorite 4/10 on spice. The flavors are incredible – serve over some rice.
This user talked about curry and everyone got mad
Because they left out Thai curry. Who does that?
Thai yellow curry. The more coconut the better.
North Indian is the best.
Ever had Tibetan food? They do curried potatoes and they're really good.
Malaysian.
