The question here is whether creationism or the story of creation is taught in primary school to children in this age range and if it is then the teaching of natural selection should be given equal weighting. |
The story of creation is taught in primary schools from a religious prospective, creaton theory isn't. But that's good because that's the way it should be IMO, the story of creation should be taught in R.E. (religious education) and evolution should be taught in science.
Mind you back when I was in primary school we had to listen to stories from the bible and the quran in assembly every morning, I don't agree with that, but I think they have got rid of that now anyway (this is going back 12 years).
