I heard it on talk radio, and this morning they said it again, this time saying that it was the Teacher's Association of Great Britain...although Aragorn says that it was just one retired teacher...but it could not have made the news over here if it was just one old teacher, could it? I have no other source than that, so the guys over there locally will have to confirm or discredit this thread.
EDIT: Okay, here are two links...the first one was on the 19th...

and then yesterday the 20th, this was posted to correct the hype.

So apparently, she said it at an important meeting and the press took it as something that the meeting itself willed, though she meant it in opinion-based...not law-making. The fool should be careful where she makes opinionated statements at official meetings...for the press eats that stuff up!
