忘却からの帰還〜Intelligent Design

British Humanist Association(BHA)によれば、2014年9月に、創造論を教える私立学校への政府補助金供与が禁じられたが...

In 2014 the BHA identified some 91 schools in receipt of funding where the BHA had concerns about the teaching of creationism as scientifically valid, or about the schools’ ability to promote British values. Following on from this, the BHA and hundreds of its supporters responded to a consultation asking the Government to preclude such funding, which the Government subsequently decided to do.

Despite the ban coming into force last September, Freedom of Information (FoI) requests sent by the BHA to local authorities this January found that state funds are still being received by at least two-thirds of the nurseries about which concerns were previously raised. Of the 91 schools identified by the BHA as receiving funding between 2010 and 2014, 54 are still receiving state funds whilst a further seven that we were previously unaware of are now also receiving funds. Only 14 are no longer funded. Data for a further 20 of the schools has not yet been made available.

2014年に、創造論を科学的に有効だと教えたり、英国の価値の推進能力に疑問があるとして、BHAが憂慮する学校91校が補助金を受けていたことを、BHAは特定した。これについて、BHAは数百人の支持者とともに、政府に対して既定の方針どおり、補助金対象としないように求めた。

昨年9月に禁じられたにもかかわらず、今年1月に行った、地方政府へのBHAの情報公開請求に対して、既に指摘した学校のうち2/3が補助金を受け取っていた。91校が2010〜2014年に補助金を受け取っていたことををBHAが特定し、さらに54校が現在も補助金を受け取っており、さらに、これまで名称特定できていなかった7校が、補助金を受け取っている。14校だけが補助金を受け取れなくなっていた。さらに20校について、地方政府からの回答がない。

現状、BHAが創造論などを教えていると特定している学校はキリスト教系19と、ユダヤ教系20と、シュタイナー系22及び、イスラム系3の合計64校である。

In total, the BHA identified:

Five schools teaching the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) curriculum. ACE nursery resources bought by the BHA show that in Science children are taught to identify what happened on each of the days of creation, and until recently the Loch Ness monster was featured in textbooks as evidence which disproved evolution.

14 schools run by the Christian Schools’ Trust. In 2009 the CST circulated a statement recommending that schools teach creationism as science.

20 Charedi Jewish Schools. These schools are also usually creationist and like ACE and CST schools, are not approved for state funding through the Free School programme.

22 Steiner schools. The BHA has expressed concern about Steiner schools in the past, particularly with regard to their stance on pseudoscience, homeopathy and vaccinations.

5つの学校がAccelerated Christian Education (ACE)のカリキュラムを教えている。BHAが購入したACE理科育児教材では、創造何日目に何が起きたかを指定させる。最近まで、ACEの教科書はネス湖の怪物を進化論を否定する証拠として掲載していた。

14の学校がChristian School's Trustにより運営されている。2009年にCSTは、科学として創造論を教えることを推奨する声明を出している。

20のCharediユダヤ学校が、ACEやCSTの学校と同様に創造論者であり、フリースクールプログラムによる政府資金の承認されていない。

22のシュタイナー学校について、BHAはその疑似科学・ホメオパシー・予防接種に対するスタンスに関して憂慮する声明を出している。
