We Are Victims!
University of Calif. Sued Over Creationism
The Association of Christian Schools International, which represents more than 800 schools, filed a federal lawsuit Thursday claiming UC admissions officials have refused to certify high school science courses that use textbooks challenging Darwin’s theory of evolution. Other rejected courses include “Christianity’s Influence in American History.”
According to the lawsuit, the Calvary Chapel Christian School in Murrieta was told its courses were rejected because they use textbooks printed by two Christian publishers, Bob Jones University Press and A Beka Books.
For those who don’t know, A Beka Books is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pensacola Christian College and the Florida Department of Revenue spent years getting them to pay taxes because PCC claimed it was a religious operation.
I don’t doubt that the University of California would accept these courses as religious, but there are standards that must be met and the courses don’t meet them. The UC standards must be consistent with the standards of their accreditation organization.
I feel certain that the students would be welcome at Bob Jones University, Pensacola Christian College, or any other “Christian college”, if they had the money.
