Manchester school defends Christian textbooks saying 'God wants wives to submit to husbands'

A private Christian School in Manchester has defended using American textbooks on their curriculum which state God wants wives to submit to their husbands, children can avoid AIDS by practicing the Bible, and homosexuality is a learned behaviour.

Three private schools in Manchester are among over 20 UK schools listed as using the Tennessee-based Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) curriculum.
ACE textbooks provided by Christian Education Europe and seen by theManchester Evening News advocates creationism instead of evolution and teach that abortion is wrong, but school leaders and the supplier claim the books are only supposed to be used as a one part of a wider education.
Headteacher Brenda Lewis, who established the ACE King of Kings School on Dantzic Street in Ancoats, in 1986, told the newspaper: “The textbooks in isolation only show a very small part of a very large curriculum. It’s a starting point not a finishing point.
“As Christians we believe the Bible and we believe what the Bible says, and it does say a number of those things, but we are not single-issue people and we teach our students to think for themselves and realise there are a vast number of issues.”

AS can be seen here, this style of fundamentalist indoctrination by a handful of the more extremist Evangelical sects has been an ongoing problem in several parts of the USA for some years now...

[AT LEAST now we know what DVO and her heavenlyconman have been up to these last few weeks !] Razz

THERE have been problems down here recently, as well ~ where one Queeensland-based Evangelical "chaplaincy" service is using such fundi' proselytising/indoctrination material in religious classes in dozens, maybe hundreds, of public schools in a couple of states..

[They could be a couple of years ahead of their British cousins already, in this regard..]. :.3chuthluL/:

Imagine if this had been a Muslim school, we would have had a Trojan horse theory and been ten pages down the line now about how this school is doing nothing to prevent extremism and are not teaching any British values then.
Maybe people wrongly think women are inferior to men then.
