It's a popular way of characterising evolution by those who are opposed to it.

If anything, it illustrates their lack of interest in scientific accuracy.

Dally the problem here is with the parents, you have been brainwashed by the left-leaning PC brigade for too long.

Nothing is "impossible to shift" from a child's mind because of their "condition", when I was a kid I was taught right from wrong and if I said something that was out of order I soon found out....its called discipline. You won't get it from schools these days they are too afraid to hit a kid in case they get accused of abuse.

You should have sorted her out at home with your own discipline, rather than sending her away to some institution for special kids where they molly coddle them and teach them about pointless stuff like gays, no doubt she will also learn about climate change and the EU all to prepare her for a life on benefits where the taxpayer will pay for her "condition".

What has happened to our once proud country called Great Britain I ask you.

Cold baths, cross country runs and if the child is a bit "slow" then beat them with a stick and stand them in the corner until they improve.

Worked for Martin Wareham the thick kid in our primary school class.

Oh hang on, it didn't.

Has she ever got a sum wrong? Does she now insist that 1 + 1 = 3 for example?

Another moral dilemna:

A friend of mine is a senior nursing manager. The hospital where she works employs a well known surgeon, a pioneer in his field. Many, many patients have had their lives greatly improved by his skills.

He's also a complete and utter sh*t. A bully, makes life miserable for the people who work with him. As an example, he once told my friend that he didn't want a particular nurse to work in his operating theatre because "she's just too f**king ugly".

He's committed numerous acts that would justify him being sacked. But he's a very good surgeon. So staff generally keep quiet about him. Afraid mainly of the implications for patients if they say anything. The senior management probably have an idea what he's like, but perhaps not just how bad. And perhaps aren't too keen to find out.

Would you blow the whistle on him?

I'd have a word with my union and get them to raise it with management.

It depends how ugly she really is?
Suppose she'll have a masky thing on in theatre so she shouldn't put him off his surgery surely?

Why not? If he is allowed to carry on unchecked one day something is going to snap big time and I don't mean him. If it then all comes out he's been at it for years its just like the Jimmy Saville revelations in that one particular sense in that the abuse, in this case bullying and sexism, has been allowed to go on unchecked for years because he is seen as untouchable.

A lot more people are going to be in trouble than just him if it carries on unchecked.

He'd not be sacked if he's that good a surgeon and things like bullying and sexism or whatever need to be dealt with by the HR dept (if they are up to it is another matter!). He clearly has problems and these need addressing for his own good and those turning a blind eye are just allowing him to carry on making other peoples life a misery so they are part of the problem as well.

Depends, if he was a 2@ to me I'd tend more towards dropping the nut on him rather than blowing any whistle

Allegedly bullying has been a pattern in many scandals - Maxwell, Saville, etc, etc. So,someone should say something before its too late.
