University of California Discriminates Against Grads of Christian Schools

Brian Sussman of KSFO Radio (see link in my radio links in left sidebar) had another interesting revelation today. It seems the University of California has denied course credit to some graduates of Christian High Schools (specifically, those of Cavalry Chapel) because their textbooks were "tainted" with Christian references. The Christians have an attorney who has sued the University of California but the case is far from resolved.

The courses in question were entirely substantive, their content academically worthy in every way, except for the fact that they sometimes quoted the Bible. The attorney said, for example, that a book on biology had a scripture quote at the beginning of each chapter, and that was the extent of the religious reference. But the U of C denied credit for the course.

It's hard to deny that the U of C is merely conducting its own version of the culture war by punishing those students who were not totally marinated in leftist ideology as preparation for college. Alas, such outrages are so commonplace nowadays that they no longer shock anyone.
