Blue Coat School
Liverpool’s Blue Coat School is the latest school to beome involved in controversy over the teaching of creationism. An Australian newspaper, has written the following about head of chemistry Nick Cowan:
“Nick Cowan, 54, is the head of chemistry at Liverpool's leading public school, Bluecoat. He is a creationist, and while his syllabus generally doesn't tangle with the big issues of where it all began, he says he slips in thought-provoking material whenever he can.
"If we're having a conversation about the old chicken-and-egg conundrum, for example, I'll say, 'Well, I believe God created the chicken, and the chicken laid the egg. What's your answer?"'
Cowan says the school knows where he stands, and he is yet to be challenged on his teaching style.
But he believes the increasing temperature of the debate will inevitably result in an intervention.
Once a parent complains, that will be it, he predicts.”
