Wait what? So a public school drawing on public funds, which follows a public curriculum, can see it's curriculum changed because a specific religion feels that that teaching violates it's beliefs?

So is it time for the Creationist Christian communities to get into a frenzy over evolution again? Has Islam set the precedent?

Yeah... Naaaah.

Religious fundies of any description shouldn't be allowed to dictate to a publicly funded school. If you want your kid to adhere to some nutjob story books from thousands of years ago, you should either homeschool or pay to get them in a private one. Fuck that nonsense.

LGBT teachings weren't part of the nationally set curriculum. The course was pushed by the award winning teacher in that particular school. Parents have the right to disagree with certain courses not mandated nationally; this is distinct to religious schools that encourage a culture of extremism and disregard the nationally required curriculum.

Ah, I was not aware it was not part of the national curriculum. Fair enough, and my mistake. Carry on.

Imagine if creationists schools where using tax dollar...

It'd be pretty infuriating. Now Bible schools and other such can teach whatever they want. They're private, it's the parents' money, who cares? Same with Muslim schools, jewish schools, etc.

And here in the US, each state determines it's standards for minimum education per grade, and subjects that need to be taught. So whether they like it or not, the theory of evolution, as well as the big bang theory are taught in such schools. Even if it's just "here's what you need to know to pass this state-required test" at least the information is getting to them.

2014 but more active than ever, and probably great again.

Interesting. State by state issue, as the states are providing the majority of that funding.

Be interesting to see the various case studies.

Uk's tariffs plan for no-deal

No-deal Brexit consequences: Government to slash up to 90% of trade tariffs – here’s what that actually means

https://inews.co.uk/news/brexit/no-deal-brexit-consequences-trade-tariffs-uk-explained/


It is quite clear: they want to lower customs duties so that imported goods remain at almost the same price as before Brexit. (To not become unpopular and lose votes ?). So, no tax revenue on entry fees

But in the other direction, British exports to the EU will be subject to import duties. European importers will probably prefer to supply elsewhere in Europe or even the world, rather than import from UK and pay import duties...

£ will fall, soon will not longer be on keyboards.
