The Swedish government is to crack down on the role religion plays in independent faith schools. The new rules will include a ban on biology teachers teaching creationism or ‘intelligent design’ alongside evolution.
"Pupils must be protected from all forms of fundamentalism," said Education Minister Jan Björklund to Dagens Nyheter. (Source, italics added)
I guess this can not be a surprise coming from Sweden, but it is still disappointing to read.

It’s wonderful news. Biology teachers should be teaching biology. Now if only the rest of the world could get their heads around that staggeringly obvious concept we could hold off on the plan to demand that Christian Churches give equal time to Critical Thinking lectures.
