Attack on Darwin

The new school curriculum “encourages” children to explore a range of different perspectives on the world, School Standards Minister Jackie Smith told Parliament. “Creationism is one of the beliefs that students will be able to explore and discuss,” Smith said. Russia is not lagging behind Great Britain: not long ago, 15-year-old St. Petersburg schoolgirl Masha Schreiber filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Education, expressing dissatisfaction with the fact that only Darwin's theory is taught at school. But in the United States, on the contrary, the court banned the teaching of creationism in school, appealing to the secularism of the state.
