Inside Britain’s Creationist Schools with @JonnyScaramanga

Jonny Scaramanga attended a fundamentalist Christian school in the ’90s where he learned that the Loch Ness Monster disproved evolution, God disapproved of the NHS, and homosexuals were an abomination. He talks about what students learn in these schools today, how they learn it, and how skeptics can respond​.

He has written for the Guardian, the Times Education Supplement, New Humanist, and New Statesman.
