Creation Moment 2/9/2019 - Darwin Play Cancelled

Amen, and Amen. Psalm 72:19
 
"A primary school has cancelled a play about Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution following complaints from a group of Christian parents.
Several families threatened to withdraw their children from the play, which is aimed at 7- to 11-year-olds, as they felt one of the scenes “mocked” a bishop involved in a historic debate on
evolution.
Hartford Manor Primary School, a non-religious community school in a village in Cheshire, decided to cancel the musical Darwin Rocks and replace it with a less divisive show following the objections.
But the decision to cancel the play has provoked anger among another group of parents who argue that it is “unacceptable” that their children have been denied a valuable learning opportunity."
