SPUC handouts in RE class - normal or not?

DD age 13 in year 9 is doing RE GCSE this year - the ethics course. I just found a print out from SPUC in her book and was furious. To be fair to the teacher it was in respect of stem cell research and not abortion, but I don't think the views of those misogynist loons have any place in education.

Should I say something or just grit my teeth?. The RE GCSE is compulsory in her school in year 9.

I would want to find out the context- had she written about it? Was it as part of an an analysis of the issues? But I woudn't be happy.......

She needs to know the different points of view in order to be able to relate/analyse/criticise them in coursework and exams.
