cTeachers 'may face the sack' under human rights laws if they refuse to promote gay marriage in schools

    DfE source says ultimate decision could lie with the ECHR
    Bill to be published today that could legalise gay marriage from next year

Teachers could lose their jobs if they express views that they oppose gay marriage, it has been revealed.

It is feared that they could be sacked for refusing to promote same sex weddings despite reassurances from Education Secretary Michael Gove. A senior source in Mr Gove's department said that the ultimate decision over whether teachers could lose their jobs would be down to the European Court of Human Rights rather than the Government.

News of the Mr Gove's fears come as the Coalition prepares to publish a bill legalising same sex marriage today.

Opponents to the proposed law say that those who take a stand over the issue could face the sack under law.

In a report compiled by the Coalition for Marriage campaign group, human rights lawyer Aidan O'Neill QC said that schools may have the right to sack staff who refuse to promote gay marriage in class, according to the Daily Telegraph.
 
But legal advice given to Equalities Minister Maria Miller suggested that staff would not be forced to act against their beliefs. A Department for Education spokesman told the Daily Telegraph: 'Schools will not acquire a power to dismiss teachers who refuse to teach views about gay marriage which are against their conscience.'

But a DfE source added: 'These (decisions) are all under the control of nine guys in Strasbourg, it is just fundamentally uncertain and Britain isn't in control of this.' Support: Education Secretary Michael Gove, left, is in favour of the gay marriage bill fast tracked by David Cameron, right, but strongly supports the right of teachers to disagree

Mr Gove is said to be fully in favour of the gay marriage bill but is also said to oppose teachers being forced to endorse it. He is expected to tell schools and councils that the Government will oppose attempts to discipline teachers for their views.

David Cameron has fast tracked the bill which could allow gay marriage from as early as next year. It would see exemptions for the Churches of England and Wales, and other faiths, to opt out if passed.

Ministers have insisted they will ensure no discrimination claims can be brought against faith groups which choose to opt out. It is understood the 2010 Equality Act will be amended to do this. The Church of England will get a ‘quadruple lock’ of measures to prevent legal challenges, under which it will be illegal to allow same-sex weddings on CofE property.
