QUESTION Ultra-Orthodox Jews say London schools should not teach 'lies' that Earth is older than 6,000 years | The Independent
An ultra-Orthodox Jewish group in London is understood to have written a letter urging teachers to boycott Government funding that would oblige them to teach “the lie that the world is ancient”, rather than 6,000 years old, as it says in the Bible.
The leaked document, written in classical Hebrew, was reportedly sent to in January by the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations, which has an affiliation of nearly 90 synagogues, as well as educational institutions.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Money should not be given to any schools who profess to teach any set of religious beliefs over and above another. Religion and religious people have no place in the administration of state and that definitely includes schools!

Schools should teach facts not mumbo jumbo. If synagogues want to believe and teach rubbish they will but they can do in their synagogues. If they want this 6,000 years old cobblers taught in schools then we can teach Darwinism in the synagogues. Better still someone in authority should just tell them to piss off.
