Backlash from Religious Education movement (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reaction

'backlash' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'religious education movement' is the wordplay.
'religious education' becomes 're'.
'movement' becomes 'action' (**).
're'+'action'='REACTION'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for reaction that I've seen before include "Response to stimulus from creation" , "Reflex; backlash" , "Chemical change or backlash" , "Force" , "Feedback" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
