Several Christian "fundamentalist" schools in the UK have been teaching extreme ideology to students like telling girls that they must obey men, a media report said today.

Called Accelerated Christian Education schools, these institutions originate from an education system developed in southern Baptist states in the US which has developed off-shoots around the world including in Britain. Between 20 and 60 pupils aged between four and 18 attend each

one.

These "fundamentalist" schools are teaching children creationism over evolution, that gay people are "unnatural" and that girls must submit to men, the Independent reported quoting some former students.
