Oops.. you forgot the "or else" part. That's what's involved here, a mandatory standard with the UC as the approved reviewer about everything a child knows or thinks. If it becomes the standard of the UC now, it'll be the standard of every major University or College in five years.
You may not be too upset if these foolish, semi-literate Christian fundamentalists who believe in "intelligent design" and will simply not acknowlege the wisdom of their betters, get theirs. It's about time, right?
Well, what about teaching economics from a Marxist perspective? How about US history from a leftist, anti-Western perspective? How about a US history who defines Reagan, Bush, and other conservative Presidents as outlaws? If the UC can use "curriculim" to force secular-humanism down the throat of every child in California, why should they stop there?
Your pro-"evolution is the only science" bias is short sighted.

2. The branch of a science or art consisting of its explanatory statements, accepted principles, and methods of analysis, as opposed to practice: a fine musician who had never studied theory.
3. A set of theorems that constitute a systematic view of a branch of mathematics.
4. Abstract reasoning; speculation: a decision based on experience rather than theory.
5. A belief or principle that guides action or assists comprehension or judgment: staked out the house on the theory that criminals usually return to the scene of the crime.
6. An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture.
I fail to see where I said any of the things you seem to think I said.
Are you saying that colleges should not be permitted to set standards for admissions? Sounds kinda liberal to me...
