This...is....rediculous.
Under a policy implemented with little fanfare a year ago, UC admissions authorities have refused to certify high school science courses that use textbooks challenging Darwin's theory of evolution, the suit says.
Other courses rejected by UC officials include "Christianity's Influence in American History," "Christianity and Morality in American Literature" and "Special Providence: American Government."The 10-campus UC system requires applicants to complete a variety of courses, including science, mathematics, history, literature and the arts.
But in letters to Calvary Chapel, university officials said some of the school's Christian-oriented courses were too narrow to be acceptable.According to the lawsuit, UC's board of admissions also advised the school that it would not approve biology and science courses that relied primarily on textbooks published by Bob Jones University Press and A Beka Books, two Christian publishers.
Instead, the board instructed the schools to "submit for UC approval a secular science curriculum with a text and course outline that addresses course content/knowledge generally accepted in the scientific community."
"It appears that the UC system is attempting to secularize Christian schools and prevent them from teaching from a world Christian view," said Patrick H. Tyler, a lawyer with Advocates for Faith and Freedom, which is assisting the plaintiffs.
Okay now correct me if I am wrong but don't Universities have the right to require a certain educational base from incoming students? There are many Universities that favor students that have plenty of extra curricular activities, or favor those students that have taken a foreign language, or are good at certain sports, so why can they not require that their Freshmen have some basic science courses under their belt before being accepted?
If the little darlings want to continue learning fables instead of science let them go to Bob Jones University or Jerry Falwells crappy school.
