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.”

One imagines the muslims won't be far behind in the outrage.

It's still not a complete victory: there are fully private, religious schools which will be able to continue teaching what the hell they like. I tried looking up the numbers but the ISC (Independent Schools Council) doesn't list which schools are part-funded and which are fully independent.
