The teaching of evolution is becoming increasingly difficult in UK schools because of the rise of creationism, a leading scientist is warning. Head of science at London's Institute of Education Professor Michael Reiss says some teachers, fearful of entering the debate, avoid the subject totally.
This could leave pupils with gaps in their scientific knowledge, he says.
Prof Reiss says the rise of creationism is partly down to the large increase in Muslim pupils in UK schools.
PING!!!

False religions (like islam and evolutionism) are not known for tolerance one towards the other...

Notice that it’s OK for the secular socialists to offend Christians & Jews day in and day out -
but, being the moral cowards that they are, they won’t offend a group known for beheading offenders.
