1. Call to teach biblical creation as science

Wow, this guy is insane but fairly typical of the region.

I'm from Northern Ireland myself, but I don't live there. Unfortunately this sort of dark-ages thinking is fairly common amongst free-pres types in his part of the country.

He doesn't have much chance of having this crap taught in any science class though.

I must admit, idiots like this form part of the reason I don't live there any more...

2. Row Brews Over DUP Call for Schools to Teach Creationism

Comment #72600 by dannywalk on September 21, 2007 at 8:47 pm

I was educated in Northern Ireland, and am actually from the council area mentioned. It sounds bad, but the vast majority of head teachers will treat this with the contempt it deserves.

Remember, half the schools are Catholic maintained, so will probably avoid anything suggested by the DUP (Northern Ireland Politics being what they are) and the few head teachers I know from the state school side are in the most part too smart to give this any attention at all. The council have little or no power of school curriculum,. and good job too. This is an example of the system working FOR sense and reason.
