No Creationism please, we're British

There's a report in today's Independent concerning an attempt to open a 'Creationist' school in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. The local state school was failing and a businessman who had set up 3 others of these schools offered to set up another to replace the failing school.

The parents and teachers protested. They would rather have a failing school than one which 'indoctrinates' the children into what they, presumably, regard as a crackpot theory. The Independent report is here

Sums up the British position on extreme Christianity rather nicely, I think.
