Creationism to be banished from Swedish schools
This week the Swedish Government banned the teaching of Creationism and “Intelligent Design” is all schools, including private religious institutions. The Local writes:
Some Christian schools teach biology students that the world and the organisms on it were created by a supreme being. This is often presented as another valid scientific theory alongside evolution - something most scientists reject.
Religious Education will remain on the curriculum and it will still be allowed to start the school day with prayers. But in classes teachers will be expected to stick to the curriculum.
There’s definitely something special about the way Scandinavian countries operate, why is it that they are so more clued-in than the rest of the Western World?
