It's a binary statement, Russ. There is no 'balanced view' to be had. Either there are independent schools teaching YEC or there aren't. If they aren't they can sue the BHA for claiming as such and accuse them of faking the evidence indicating they are. They have not.
I'm not moving away in the slightest. I stated a fact and, for some reason, you are trying to say that I am making a point about the teachings in Islamic schools more generally and claiming to be able to speak with 'proper authority'. I wasn't. I merely stated that there are Islamic independent schools teaching the Islamic creation myth as literal scientific fact. Nothing more.

Step back for a moment. The above was all I said on the matter. This is not even remotely controversial on any level, and I'm not going to defend this statement of fact further or try and defend what you think I wrote over the very simple binary premise I actually put forward.
