Is there anything do you don't understand about the above or want further clarification on?

be taught in [public] schools; private schools set their own curriculums.

Firstly creationism should never ever be taught in science class because it is not science. I actually do not think any religious doctrine should be taught in schools as fact.
I do not think private schools should be able to set their own curriculum beyond certain boundaries. I am not entirely certain but I do not think it is the case in either Zambia or SA that private schools can set their own curriculum entirely. I looked into home-schooling and there were quite strict regulations.
What do you think should be taught here in SA where there are equal numbers of Muslims and Christians? Should they teach the children that Mohammed is the prophet of God or is it only your religion that you support being taught in school?

Or perhaps just someone with a prejudicial bias against a particular group of people?

I see no need to classify myself at all. If you wish to classify my as an 'atheist activist' go right ahead. Just don't be stupid enough to think that labels make reality.
As for 'prejudicial bias' - stop talking nonsense. You are one of the most prejudicially biased people I have ever met. You respond to all posts with extreme bias based on who posted it whilst largely ignoring the content. I on the other hand showed no prejudicial bias in the contents of the post you responded to.

Neither.

Perhaps you might consider that that is why they don't agree with you.
I'm not "prejudicially" biased at all. But I do show a remarkable bias towards those who attempt to seize the 'high road' by claiming they're not prejudicially biased directly after making prejudicially biased statements.

Right. So you're another one like FMF who responds to those he doesn't agree with with disdain.

You most definitely are. In fact you have in the past been suspected of being the serial 'thumbs downer' or goes through threads thumbing down every post by certain posters.
But I do show a remarkable bias towards those who attempt to seize the 'high road' by claiming they're not prejudicially biased directly after making prejudicially biased statements.
What prejudicially biased statement did I make?
Demonstrate that I made a prejudicially biased statement and I will stand corrected. Fail to do so and my claim stands ie that you believed I made a prejudicially biased statement because I was the poster and not because of something I said.
