Government withdraws funding for schools that teach Creationism

Well that's a victory for common sense. To be clear this is for any schools which receive government funding. I guess schools which receive their funding from other sources could do as they wish, which is kind of worrying. Still, this is a good step.

The Department for Education has revised its model funding agreement, allowing the education secretary to withdraw cash from schools that fail to meet strict criteria relating to what they teach. Under the new agreement, funding will be withdrawn for any free school that teaches what it claims are "evidence-based views or theories" that run "contrary to established scientific and/or historical evidence and explanations".
