Enzo Rossi, a philosophy graduate student at the University of St. Andrews, confirms that the theory of evolution has been removed from the Italian school curriculum, but calls my attention to “an on-line plea against those obscurantist new primary school curricula” here. He notes:

“The plea is hosted by the liberal newspaper ‘Repubblica’, and it has been launched and signed by prominent Italian scientists (including several Nobel Prize-winners), as well as by some 28,000 other people.”

Let us hope this public outcry will result in this shameful decision being reversed.
