See, this is precisely why all your peer nations stare at the US and wag their collective head in disbelief.

Well, that and your nutty ideas regarding firearms.

Quote:On Thursday, the United Kingdom expanded its ban on the teaching of creationism from all state schools, to all state schools as well as semi-private Free Schools and Academies.

The decision effectively means that no school in the United Kingdom can teach creationism or any other “anti-scientific” dogma without losing the entirety of its funding, as they would be violating “the requirement on every academy and free school to provide a broad and balanced curriculum.”

According to a press release from the British Humanist Association (BHA), the new rules “explicitly require that pupils are taught about the theory of evolution, and prevent academy trusts from teaching ‘creationism’ as scientific fact.”

I was going to say, at least we don't fund private elementary and high schools here in the U.S. and then I thought about the voucher programs. *sigh*
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Britain finally learnt how to spread the red pill by crop dusting - well done.

This is actually the first I've heard of this - I don't really bother with the telly anymore and what with the football and everything (another strategic English withdrawal), I've somehow avoided the news of late.

At last, Dyno-Rod Dave got something right!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
