No, it shouldn’t. The Bible should be taught in British classrooms.

Actually, Reiss appears to be a free-floating theistic evolutionist, has not backed down from his original position. However, his reformulation is quite interesting, as it now rests on a distinction between what one teaches and what one teaches about in science classes.

He is clearly making the point that the classroom is not about indoctrination, and so one can teach about creationism without ‘teaching’ it per se as dogma.

You can teach ABOUT something, critquing or defending aspects of it for instance without requiring students to believe it one way or the other.
