Last week it was reported in the press that the Queen had asked a number of guests to Buckingham Palace to give three good reasons for remaining in the EU. The Palace refused to confirm or deny the report.

Her biographer has stated she's a sceptic of the EU and would support leaving the EU.

We will never know for sure. But I would definitely not assume that the Queen supported remaining in the EU.

This is what I suspected. What difference does it make to her?
If staying in the EU was so all-fired important to the country she would have let her opinion be known

Are you one of those who thinks teachers should be voicing their personal opinions about Trump/Hillary in this election, because it's different this time? No, teachers should remain neutral, and the queen should/did remain neutral. That's what being neutral means.

Why should teachers remain neutral?

Teachers can have opinions w/o necessarily being rabid.

Teachers should not be neutral. Kids should have to learn to deal with authoritative figures that they sometimes do not agree with. Working within the system is a skill that every one need to develop and master in order to be successful in life. My kids all come home saying that Trump is a racist, for example, or that Brexit is racist because the pro-leaving camp did it partially due to immigration concerns. Kids don't form these opinions on their own. These are teaching opportunities, however, as I tell my kids to examine the evidence and realize that some times, the people we respect are wrong.

I think these teaching opportunities should wait for high school, or at least middle school. Elementary school kids are simply too young to be expected to know when to listen to the teacher and when to question and ignore. My kids teachers should stay neutral or I'll be talking to the principal and higher.

Well, since they have civics classes in elementary school, they will be exposed to things like immigration as a part of their normal coursework. Kids are inquisitive and observant, and therefore will have questions related to current events. It's up to us as parents to be engaged and counter balance or reinforce opinions as appropriate. In addition to teachers, kids will pick up things from their friends, the friend's parents, the news, Youtube videos, the radio, and etc. These are learning opportunities to be taken advantage of. Don't deny your child knowledge.
