That seems to answer all those naysayers. Great.

At my kids school they,ve re-worded their RE classes to say that they are strictly non-denomenational RELIGION.
It's not religion, it's Christianity and should be labelled appropriately

If you teach creationism from the Old Testament then you should say Judism only or also and Christian, Muslim, Catholicism, Mormonism, Jahovah Witness, and other groups that follow the Old Testament.

In the U.K. what you would call a private school is what we would call a public school. Essentially it is open to all members of the public whose parents can afford the fees. A private school in the U.K. on the other hand is not required to admit pupils who do not fulfil whatever other criteria they have for entrance.

They should also not be allowed to teach evolution as scientific fact, because it isn't. Then maybe more people would be happy not to fight the system.
