\"UnitedLONDON \u2013 <\/strong>In an attempt to crack down on religious \u2018extremism,\u2019 Britain\u2019s Education Secretary has announced that any schools that teach creation will be stripped of government funding.<\/p>\n

Nicky Morgan, Education Secretary of Great Britain, delivered a statement<\/a> to Parliament late last month, in which she condemned the spread of religious views within British schools. Citing a recently-released report<\/a>, Morgan particularly emphasized the danger of radical Islamic beliefs infiltrating Britain\u2019s classrooms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been no evidence of direct radicalisation or violent extremism,\u201d Morgan stated. \u201cBut there is a clear account in the report of people in positions of influence in these schools, with a restricted and narrow interpretation of their faith, who have not promoted fundamental British values and who have failed to challenge the extremist views of others.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report mentioned by Morgan also denounces the teaching of creation in public schools, suggesting that anti-evolution beliefs are comparable to radical Islam. One section of the report claims that creation beliefs equate to \u201cteaching belief as fact.\u201d Click here<\/a> to continue reading.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
