“It definitely had many educational heads hopping mad that the UOHC, which runs not a single educational institution, should be making such crucial decisions without consulting anyone actually running one.”
As reported by the JC last week, last months’ notice from the UOHC warned strictly orthodox educational institutions not to sign contracts with councils for early years funding, because the DfE guidelines state councils should not fund institutions which present “creationism as fact”.
The notice stated that “they place great doubts, Heaven forfend, in the creation of the world with the lie that the world is ancient, may their mouths be filled with earth.
“This is a lie that earlier sages of blessed memory contended with, and now they wish to infiltrate us with this falsehood.”
The UOHC urged institutions not to sign up for funding and that any institution which had already done so should retract.
