Since you live in Hampshire, please do something about the possible introduction of creationism (http://www.secularism.org.uk/creationism-to-be-taught-in-scie.html)into science lessons.

The SACRE (a multi-religious advisory body, required by statute, that guides local schools’ religious education policy) has recommended that evolution and creationism be taught jointly in RE and science lessons.

The aim, says the SACRE, is for pupils to explore the science and theology together, then come to their own conclusions.

Is this the thin end of the notorious Wedge?

It's at times like these I wish I had children, it would make complaining easier in the circumstances, or that I hadn't given up volunteering as a Teaching Assistant for that matter.

A letter including the query "Are they advocating teaching the Stork Theory of human reproduction in science class too?" might be called for.

If you can get a campaign going in the press and/or local radio, it might nail it.
