Judge James Otero upholds University of California decision requiring science credits to contain science
“A federal judge [and Bush appointee - Ed.] says the University of California can deny course credit to applicants from Christian high schools whose textbooks declare the Bible infallible and reject evolution.” The final results of a 3-year-old lawsuit not being quite what they were looking for, the Christian Advocates for Faith and Freedom are appealing the ruling to the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
I hope the Expelled film crew can cobble together a reunion to cover the rest of this lawsuit…this is a textbook case of textbooks needing to contain facts in order for academia to accept their merit. Freaking kudos to the wise folks at UC for denying “credit to courses that rely largely or entirely on material stressing supernatural over historic or scientific explanations”. In accord with their mission to ‘transmit advanced knowledge’, they rightly reject people who’s educational foundation relies on texts that begin with such scary statements as “if (scientific) conclusions contradict the Word of God, the conclusions are wrong.”
Hi all!
Nice site!
