Mr Middleton said,
“I welcome the action by PSNI and trust there will be people brought before the courts and held accountable for their actions.
No principal, nor any educator who dedicates their life to shaping future generations, should ever be subjected to abuse. I am appalled by the sinister messages directed at the principal of Lisneal College. Michael has my full support.
I condemn those responsible for this disgraceful behaviour. But let us not shy away from saying that there are those in the political realm who must reflect on why they focused on one school so relentlessly whilst ignoring other schools in the same area.
Schools rightly have a zero-tolerance approach to bullying, and there is no place for bullies in politics either.“
