    Mandatory

    not op but

    Religious school wants to teach creationism rather than evolution because it “goes against their beliefs” - law says they have to teach evolution because it’s part of the national curriculum (which in turn is science based) and are not allowed to give creationism equal weight.

    Religious school cries foul, says the government is bigoted and discriminating against their religion.

    Is this a case of intolerance that needs to be bashed?

        Oh for sure. Child marriage and genital mutilation is also an issue within this scope.

        They’re stuck 2 centuries in the past and expect to be able to impose their barbaric “beliefs” on everyone around them.

      This depends, is the religious school private or public? If the religious school is private, is the religious belief publicly fascist in nature?

      If the school was public then it is going against the law. The government has a monopoly on violence and will use the violence to uphold the law. So in this case, the police would be doing the bashing.

      If it is private and not spreading harmful ideas, then it is fine.
