Made in the USA
Dozens of schools in the UK are using creationist teaching materials condemned by the government as "not appropriate to support the science curriculum," according to a report published in The Guardian this morning.
The DVDs, according to The Guardian, were produced in America and feature figures linked to the Discovery Institute in Seattle
The teaching pack, which includes two DVDs and a manual, was sent to the head of science at all secondary schools in the country on September 18 by the group Truth in Science. The enclosed feedback postcard was returned by 89 schools. As well as 59 positive responses, 15 were negative or dismissive and 15 said the material was "not suitable".
