Latest: Government admits teachers do face threat | ||
The
Daily Telegraph carries a front-page
report today saying that the Government is “powerless” to stop teachers
getting sacked if they refuse to endorse same-sex marriage. It quotes a senior
source at the Department
for Education admitting that the UK is not “in control” and that European judges have the final say.
We
told you that teachers were under threat, now we know the Government thinks so
too – albeit privately. It’s appalling that they haven’t been more
upfront about this. It just shows that we have been absolutely right to point out the widespread impact of this unpopular and divisive policy.
Today,
we are publishing our report on same-sex marriage storybooks being promoted in
primary schools.
The
legal and political pressure to use these books in classrooms will be
all the greater if marriage gets redefined. Culture wars about the meaning of marriage shouldn’t be dragged into our schools. But some extreme local authority somewhere will try to do just that, and woe betide any teacher who objects.
Your
MP opposes the plans to redefine marriage. That’s good news but it
is still important to encourage them to stay on the right side of this debate. The Bill to redefine marriage was published today and MPs will vote on it for the first time on Tuesday 5 February.
So,
if you have not already done so, please ask your MP for a face-to-face
meeting. It is important that you meet your MP before 5 February. If
you can’t secure a meeting before then, just email your MP and say you
oppose the redefinition of marriage.

to say to your MP:
