Yes they should know better,but sometimes people make bad judgements due to lots of different reasons
In my opinion the O.P needs to be thinking more about the strategies needed to get further work as they will not be able to say that they were sacked for racism!.
I think they will be sacked because everywhere I have worked 1 racist joke would mean you were out of the door.

I know sickening really aint it.

But it wasn't a "joke to ur m8s". According to even the OP's version it was a series of racist jokes told in the employers premises to some work colleagues. Education premises. There may or may not be mitigating circumstances, but that isn't relevant. If someone wants to tell jokes, and humour does not need to the racist, to their mates, then down the pub is an appropriate place to tell them. I seem to recall you are in care work. Would racist, or ageist,or jokes about states of mental health be acceptable fair for telling colleagues at work? In other words, jokes at the expense of your client group? Because there is clear and unequivocable guidance from your Inspectors to say it very definitely isn't. What makes it ok for someone in education to think racist jokes are appropriate material for the workplace? If the OP is telling the truth then I feel sorry for them, but that doesn't make it right, and a professional should know better.

If anyone used ANYTHING to take the mic out of my residents I would personally be very upset

I believe you may have misunderstood. I think Brett may have been suggesting that "bad jokes about other cultures" are the reason for so many people being unemployed, since that is what he actually said, and he may well be correct. A lot of workplaces find racism offensive, and it's nice to know that Brett agrees with such policies.

you used brett and nice in the same sentence omg brb *fetch;s record book* so were on what date n time again?

although in the above case do you think their is a slight chance of the |OP getting away with a FWW. It has been known

Does that include your residents of other cultures or not? Because it doesn't sound like it. Unless of course you didn't really mean that it is sickneing that racism gets people sacked.

Just to clarify, because it isn't clear from your posts. Is English your first language?

So why do you not know how to capitalise the start of your sentences and how to punctuate them at the end with a full stop?
