Evangelicals told to "Teach Darwin"

Magnetic Poles · Oct 27, 2006

Quebec is cracking down on unlicensed schools run by evangelicals, saying they must teach the approved curriculum, including teaching biological evolution.

Quebec has launched a crackdown on unlicensed evangelical schools, saying the province will shut down any institution that does not follow the provincial curriculum and teach Darwinism.

Education Minister Jean-Marc Fournier said yesterday some evangelical schools have been operating illegally in the province and teaching their own curriculum. All Quebec schools require a permit to instruct students.

"Schools that have a permit must of course follow the curriculum, which includes the teaching of Darwin's theory of evolution," Mr. Fournier said.

Elsewhere in Canada, governments tend not to interfere with what is taught in independent schools, unless a particular school is using the provincial curriculum.

While I agree that even children who attend religious schools need to understand the theory, I don't think it should be mandated by the government.

It's amazing how many folks look to Canada and their socialistic system for clues to America's future. It's a shining example of what not to follow, yet Hillary and those of her ilk, look there constantly for clues on how to further socialize us.
