I honestly did not know this.
WTF?!

These children surely cannot grow into functioning adults with this mis-information. I don't foist my opinions on anyone (well, except here) but how is it possible to live here with views that are so against the norm? It causes sectarianism and terrorism. As reflected in both Christianity and Islam.

I mean, I worked in a C of E school (note acceptance of past tense. Sigh.)
So shocking to know this is still kicking in this century. America is big enough to absorb fruitloopiness, we're not.

Put them on the Isle of Wight and tow it out to sea, I say.
See? I'm as tolerant as the next fruitloop.

That is one hell of a leap going from creationism to terrorist.

Yes, but it's the only way to put fun in fundamentalism.
