It's like the world has gone completely beserk

From The Times:

AN EXAMINATIONS board is including references to “creationism” in a new GCSE science course for schools.

The OCR board admitted that a biology course due to be introduced in September encourages schools to consider alternative views to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.

The OCR chap on the radio has just explained that this is a part of making science more accessible. Why should it be more accessible? Why should GCSE science lessons be any more fun than the occasional Bunsen burner 'accident'? It's like all the progress that society has achieved over a hundred years or more is now being rolled back by faith-based initiatives and making things more fun.
