Senior teachers removed over religious row

[Robert]

Senior teachers at a South Lanarkshire school have been removed following a parent outcry over the involvement of a US-based religious group.

South Lanarkshire Council has now redeployed the two officials who shared the head teacher post.
The authority also said it had launched "a full investigation into management practices at the school".
Some parents were reported to have been outraged that their children were given books at an assembly questioning evolution and highlighting the church's own religious viewpoints.

A sensible move, I suppose, although I expected them to be sacked (which could still happen) rather than redeployed.

good for them! I mean the parents being pissed off about their kids getting a subpar education indoctrination.
Sounds like this "US-based religious group" is going to get The Boot. (Or maybe a Glasgow Kiss - BLAM!)


I've got lots of issues with the catholic-kid-touchers-church but at least no one ever taught science in any other way but honestly.
