Creationist 'zoo' wins UK Govt backed award
2010-Jul-24, Saturday 22:10Words fail me. Remember the creationist 'zoo farm' that Debi and I wrote about a few years back?
They've won an education award , specifically a "Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge" awarded by the Government backed Council for Learning Outside the Classroom.
A Government backed charity has issued an accreditation award to a science denying establishment that's been heavily criticised in the past for its animal welfare standards, and that links heavily to www.earthhistory.org.uk, a site seeking to rewrite the science to justify young-earth creationism. They seem to want to blame Darwin for Mao, Hitler and Stalin (SRSLY).
The front page of the Learning Outside the Classroom site currently says:
FYI: All links to earth history and the zoo farm itself have rel="nofollow" added, I avoid using that too often, but there's no way I want to give them any link credit at all.
