No problem

Star struck Pete gets his magic pixies to wave their magic wands and his book of fairy tales supplies all the answers.

Teaching creationism as being an interpretation of scripture that faith relies on to a greater or lesser extent is good education and helps children understand where people are coming from.

But teaching it as fact? I got a bollocking from my lad's teacher because he believed me when I said for fun that wind farms are all about giant fans to counteract global warming.

The lecture I got, rightly so, would serve to explain why the teaching of superstitious claptrap is tantamount to child abuse.
