I had no trouble graduating from a california high school without a biology course, and so did one of my nieces, just recently.

Someone needs to revoke your diplomas:

Science Graduation Requirement

Science requirements for high school graduation.
   

California Education Code Section 51225.3 (a)(1)(C) specifies, in order to receive a high school diploma, a student must successfully complete at least two courses in science, including biological and physical sciences.

A course is one year long or two semesters. While the law is not explicit, one course generally focuses on the biological sciences and the other course focuses on physical sciences. Physical sciences may include physics, chemistry, or earth science. Two years of integrated science would also fulfill this graduation requirement, as long as biological and physical sciences are included.

In 1998, the State Board of Education adopted science curriculum standards. See Science for additional information.

California Education Code can be found in the California Law library.

Right. That'll happen. I'm with my extended family just now, and I asked around. Out of 12 California high school graduates, 4 did not take biology, and no one said butkus about it, either in high school or college.
