He's now been jailed
In a victim impact statement, the teacher, who has not been named, said: ‘I am a black teacher and this is my fifth year in my teaching career.
‘I have never experienced extreme racial abuse, violent threatening behaviour and intimidating far right views from parents at school, as demonstrated by Cosgrove. ‘The constant thought of his threatening acts of violence has caused me to avoid going out publicly due to the overwhelming fear of being injured or assaulted, which has left me feeling vulnerable.’PC Paul Watts, from West Midlands Police, said after the case: ‘Both the aggressive incidents were witnessed by students at the school, who heard the swearing and racist language.
‘What Cosgrove did was unacceptable and created fear for not only pupils, but the teachers who had to face him. ‘I am glad we have brought this man to justice and hope it can serve as an example that we will not tolerate this type of abuse in our community.’
